Mahalanobis D2 statistics were used to study genetic divergence for 30 genotypes of ivy gourd. On the basis of divergence analysis these genotypes were grouped into 05 clusters. Clusters I was the largest one with 22 genotypes. The inter-cluster distances were greater than intra-cluster distance revealing considerable amount of genetic diversity among the genotypes studied. The maximum inter-cluster distance was observed between clusters II and V, Selection of superior genotypes from these clusters may be used in hybridization programme. The characters viz., ascorbic acid content, inter nodal length, leaf length and leaf width appeared promising which could be gainfully utilized.
