Ten pollen parents of pearl millet were crossed with four male - sterile lines using line x tester mating design . The fourteen parents 40 F₁'s and F₂ 's were grown to evaluate heterosis and combining ability in F₁ generation as well as inbreeding depression in F₁ generation for forage yield and its related traits
