AbstractThe use of hybrid vigor or heterosis in Coffea arabica L. cultivation has gradually been commercially explored worldwide since research has evolved in understanding this phenomenon and the vegetative propagation techniques or male-sterility making its use viable. Additionally, coffee producers adopting this technology have continuously increased. Therefore, we studied the existence and magnitude of heterosis and estimate the combining ability of parents in bi-parental crosses.
