Seed size is one of the characters associated with seed quality. The influence of seed size on seedling vigour and crop performance has been established in different crops like soybean, maize, gram and ashgourd. Variability in fruit size and shape is seen in pumpkin, even under good management. A significant correlation was reported between the fruit weight and number of good seeds in cucumber. Large sized fruits selected at the field level ensured recovery of large size seeds, which produce healthy, vigorous seedlings that was reported in ashgourd. Such information is lacking in pumpkin. The present studies were undertaken to trace out the influence of fruit grading on seed quality in pumpkin cv. CO2
