N2  - Eight advanced inbred lines derived from different yellow maize populations were crossed in a half diallel mating scheme in 2010 season at Gemmeiza Agric. Res. Station. The resultant 28 crosses along with two commercial check hybrids i.e. SC 166 and SC 173 were evaluated at two locations i.e. Gemmeiza and Mallawy Agric. Res. Stations in 2011 season. Mean squares due to crosses, G.C.A. and S.C.A. were highly significant for all studied traits. The ratio of Eg2i/ ES2ij indicated that the nonadditive gene effects played the major role in the inhertance of all the studied traits. For grain yield, one parental inbred line P3 had significant positive GCA effects and six crosses P1 xP2, P1 xP6, P2xP4, P3xP8, P5xP7 and P6xP7 had significant or highly significant positive SCA effects
