✦ Synopsis

Optimality of orthogonally blocked complete diallel crosses for estimating general combining abilities is investigated when the model also includes speciÿc combining abilities. It is proved that these designs remain optimal even in the presence of speciÿc combining abilities. Three new series of orthogonally blocked designs are also reported.
