Analysis of data on three traits of 35 F1 s from crosses between 5 male sterile sorghums and 7 sudangrasses revealed that sorghum line 3048 on average basis gave an excellent performance in respect of plant height and tillers per plant whereas sorghum strain 10390 out yielded all the other sorghum strains in respect of dry fodder yield per plant. Piper sudangrass showed the highest general combining ability value in recpect of plant height and sudangrass 337 was good combiner on average basis for number of tillers per plant whereas average performance of cross combinations of Low HCN sudangrass out yielded in respect of dry fodder yield . sorghum 3048 showed highest values of specific combining ability in 'respect of plant height and fodder yield in combinations with piper and Low HCN, respectively whereas sorghum 10390 showed its superiority for specific combining ability in corss combinations with Low HCN in respect of number of tillers per plant
