      <Abstract>The investigation was carried out at three different locations to get information on combining ability for root yield and its contributing traits including 65 genotypes. The analysis of variance indicated that experimental material contained considerable variability and both SCA along with GCA are involved in genetic expression of traits, furthermore, the expression of GCA and SCA were highly influenced by the environment. The estimates of general combining ability effects over the environments revealed that among parents, L9, L5, L14, L15 and T3 were identified good general combiners for root yield along with most of yield contributing traits, while, among the crosses, six hybrids viz., L8 x T1, L10 x T1, L12 x T1, L15 x T2, L1 x T3 and L4 x T3 were reported superior specific combiner for economic important trait i.e. dry root yield per plant. Above selected genotypes may be useful for the further crop improvement breeding programmes.</Abstract>
