Popis: Combining ability estimates were studied for pod shattering and other agronomic traits in eight parental soybean genotypes of different pod shattering group namely: susceptible to pod shattering, moderately resistant to pod shattering were crossed in a 4 x 4 North Carolina mating design II to generate 16 crosses, due to missing stands encountered in some crosses, 9 successful F1S hybrids were obtained in the present study and evaluated along with the parents to estimate the mode of gene action controlling pod shattering in soybean and the combining ability for pod shattering and other agronomic traits in soybean. The mean square from the analysis of variance for the ten traits measured showed highly significant differences (p
