A study was conducted to know the heterosis and combining ability effects for yield and fruit quality contributing traits in a 6?6 diallel analysis excluding reciprocals by using 6 parents namely Deepam, Nidhi, Tyrex, Tyqueen, Tyking and Sonali in randomized complete block design with three replications during the winter season October, 2010 to March 2011. All observed traits were governed by both additive and non-additive type of gene actions, though the additive gene action was prominent which revealed the polygene involvement in inheritance. The parent Nidhi was an excellent general combiner for individual fruit weight and yield per plant and Deepam for fruits per plant. Parent Tyrex was the best general combiner for fruits per cluster, fruit diameter and total soluble solids (?brix). The cross combination Deepam?Sonali was the best specific combiner for yield per plant while Nidhi?Tyking for fruit length and individual fruit weight, Tyrex?Sonali for fruit width and fruits per plant. The cross combination Deepam?Sonali showed the highest significant heterobeltosis for individual fruit weight and fruit yield per plant and Tyrex?Sonali for fruits per plant.
