A 10 x 10 diallel analysis excluding reciprocals in sponge gourd (Luffa cylindrica (Roem.) L.) revealed highly significant mean squares due to genotypes for all characters except days to first picking and fruit girth. The mean square due to parents was highly significant for node to first female flower, number of primary branches per vine, ten fruit weight, fruit girth, fruit yield per vine and significant for node to first male flower. The mean square due to hybrids was highly significant for days to open first female flower, node to first female flower, node to first male flower, length of vine, number of primary branches per vine, number of fruits per vine, ten fruit weight, fruit length, fruit yield per vine and fruit fly infestation. Mean square due to parents Vs hybrids were highly significant for node to first female flower, node to first male flower, length of vine, ten fruit weight, fruit length, fruit yield per vine and would be exploited for heterosis breeding in sponge gourd.
