Abstract

Bottle gourd is one of the most important cucurbitaceous crops and is a rich source of potassium, vitamin C, protein, sulphur, fat and phosphorous. The experimental material consisted of 24 bottle gourd genotypes viz., IC 249663, PSR 13300, PSR 13156, PSR 13290, RJR 27, PSR 13176, RJR 201, IC 446596, IC 249654, IC 249672, IC 249671, IC 249668, IC 446594, RJR 533, IC 249665, IC 249658, IC 249653, IC 446592, IC 249650, RJR 420, IC 249656, IC 256053 and NSJ 298 obtained from NBPGR, Hyderabad and along with one check variety i.e. Pusa Naveen which were sown in randomized block design with three replications during spring summer of 2012 at Horticultural College and Research Institute, Dr. Y.S.R.Horticultural University, Venkataramannagudem, Andhra Pradesh. Row to row and plant to plant spacings were maintained at 2m and 1m, respectively in 6m × 4m plot. Six plants were maintained in each plot for recording the observations.
