Abstract
A line X tester analysis involving eight female and four male parents, all of different growth habits, generating 32 F1 crosses was undertaken in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea). Combining ability analysis indicated that non-additive gene effects were predominant for yield components although the magnitude of additive effects was substantial. Intra-group crosses were better for yield and its components than inter-group crosses. Inter-group crosses involved good combining parents; immediate improvement can be made in inter-group crosses because additive gene effects can be exploited easily by any breeding method. Limdi 5, AH8086 and M13 were good combiners for yield and its components
