Heterosis was estimated over mid- and better parents for yield and some important yield components in 10 crosses of wheat, involving 2 local varieties viz. Inq-9l, LU26S and three promising lines viz. HABA-3, HABA-6 and HABA-9. Number of tillers showed maximum heterosis over the mid parent (31. 91 %) followed by grain yield per plant (19.41 %) , 1000-grain weight ( 17.32 % J, number of grains per spike (I 1.37 %) and plant height (5.23 %). The maximum heterobeltiosis was recorded for grain yield per plant (19.08%). number of tillers per plant (15.82 %) and number of grains per spike (10.27%).
