Abstract

The study was conducted in bottlegourd (Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.) Standl.) to investigate extent of heterosis for yield and its contributing characters with five parents and their 10 F, hybrids. Maximum heterosis over the better parent was expressed for fruit weight (108.3%) and fruit yield per vine (98.12%) in F, cross Pratik x TPT local while AB with TPT local and PSPL registered high heterobeltiosis for fruits per vine (22.95%) fruit girth (30.69%) and fruit flesh thickness (34.05%) respectively.
