Abstract:
A comprehensive assessment was conducted on 21 cucumber genotypes gathered from different sources, during which observations were documented for the following traits. viz. length of the vine, Branches number per vine, node up to which first female flower appearance, node up to which first male flower appearance, days to first female flower appearance, days to first male flower appearance, days to first harvest, days to last harvest, length of the fruit, diameter of the fruit, average weight of the fruit weight, fruits number per vine, fruit yield per vine, fruit yield per plot, fruit yield per hectare, flesh thickness, TSS. Correlation analysis revealed that fruit yield per vine was significantly and positively correlated with per plot yield, per hectare yield, branches number, fruit length, fruits number per vine, days to first harvest, average fruit weight. However, negative association, was noted for days to the first appearance of the female flower, the node number for the first appearance of the female flower and days to the first harvest. Hence simultaneous selection for these traits would be rewarding for improving the fruit yield per vine.
