Hybrid Vigor in a Seven-Parent Diallel Cross in Common Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)¹

Levels of hybrid vigor for earliness, height, three components of yield, and grain yield were examined in the F₁ and F₂ generations of a diallel cross of seven varieties selected from hard red, soft white, and soft red winter wheats. Entries planted in hills showed little interaction with seeding rates of 3 to 15 plants per 930 cm² (1 ft²), but the degree of hybrid vigor tended to be greater for hill seeding than for normal seeding.

Key Words: heterobeltiosis • hill technique • hybrid wheat
