The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with two replications at college of horticulture, venkataramannagudem. The overall analysis reveals that fruit yield was positively and significant correlated with days to first fruit harvest, number of fruits per vine, fruit diameter, fruit length, fruit flesh thickness and average fruit weight while selecting a good hybrids for enhancing the yield of ridge gourd.
