Combining ability was studied in a 4 × 4 half diallel cross in maize for grain yield and yield contributing characters under arsenic treatment. Half diallel analysis is an efficient method for the study of combining ability and the gene action of the characters under study. Combining ability (GCA and SCA) refers to the ability of a genotype to transmit superior performance to its crosses. Its estimation are important genetic attributes for maize breeders in anticipating improvement in productivity via hybridization and selection. An estimate of combining ability analysis is one of the powerful tools for the identification of best combiners that may be used in crosses either to exploit heterosis or to accumulate productive genes which can further be utilized for genetic improvement for yield.
