Abstract

Bottle gourd [Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.) Standl.] is an
important cucurbitaceous vegetable grown in subtropical
and tropical regions of India for its tender fruits. It is
considered as a good source of minerals. Being
monoecious in nature, the amount of cross pollination
ranges from 60-80% (Choudhary 1987). Hence, there
is an ample scope for exploitation of hybrid vigour.
Therefore, the present investigation on the extent of
heterosis for fruit yield and its component traits was
carried out through half diallel mating design in bottle
gourd. The present investigation was conducted at the
Main Vegetable Research Station,
