Abstract:
The goal of the current study was to determine the average performance of parents and hybrids for growth, yield, and quality-attributing traits in bottle gourd at College of Horticulture, Venkataramannagudem, during 2019-20. Among the ten parents used for study Local Round (11.26 kg), Kashi Ganga (9.80 kg) and Arka Bahar (9.57) were high yielding of 11.26, 9.80 and 9.57 kg per vine, respectively. The hybrids Pusa Samridhi × Local Round, Pusa Samridhi × Pant Lauki-3 and Pant Lauki-3 × Local Long recorded highest yield of 14.90, 12.07 and 12.02 kg per vine, respectively in bottle gourd. The usage of parents in subsequent breeding programmes and the potential for hybrids to be employed for cultivation can both be based on their mean performance.
