Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most auspicious cereal food crop with regard to production, consumption, nutritional value, storage space, quality, adaptability and transportation. The all 15 F1 cross combinations and their parents were planted in a randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. Out of 15 cross combinations, only 10 show significant heterobeltiosis for early maturity over the standard check-in desirable direction. Five cross combinations PBW 343 x PBW 65, RAJ 2184 x PBW 65, PBW 343 x RAJ 2184, CPAN 3004 x RAJ 2184, HD 1981 x PBW 154 show significant positive heterobeltiosis whereas two cross combinations HD 1981 x PBW 154 and PBW 343 x PBW 65 show significant positive heterosis over commercial check for seed yield. The GCA (General combining ability) effects of the parent PBW343 showed significant positive effect for most of all the traits followed by CPAN3004, PBW154 and PBW65. Out of fifteen, two cross crosses, namely PBW 343 x PBW 65 and CPAN 3004 x RAJ 2184 showed a significant positive SCA (specific combining ability) effect for grain yield.
