yield with better quality. Maize is a highly cross pollinated crop and the scope for the exploitation of hybrid vigour will depend on the magnitude and direction of heterosis and the gene action involved. Heterosis and combining ability are prerequisites for developing a good economically viable hybrid. In popcorn, enhance level of heterosis for grain yield (19) and popping expansion (13, 15) has been reported by previous researchers. Combining ability analysis is useful to assess the potential inbred
