Abstract:

An experiment was conducted during kharif, 2012 and summer, 2013 at Vegetable Research Station, Rajendranagar, Dr.YSR Horticultural University.  Five parental lines and their 10 cross combinations of bitter gourd obtained from half diallel were studied to investigate extent of heterosis for yield and yield contributing traits. In order of merit F1 hybrids as per standard heterosis, RNMC-52 X RNMC-55 (25.90%), RNMC-54 X RNMC-55 (19.05%) and RNMC-51 X RNMC-53 (9.92%) were recorded to be best promising F1 hybrids for fruit yield per vine.


Keywords: Bitter gourd, Relative heterosis, Heterobetiosis and Standard Heterosis
