Abstract


Pumkin (Cucurbita moschata Poir.) is one of the important vegetable crops of Tamil Nadu. It is valued mostly as a vegetable and is also used as a main ingredient in the preparation of sweet-meats, thus providing opportunities for processing and canning industries. Yet, there has been so far no improved strain in pumpkin for cultivation in Tamil Nadu Breeding projects were, therefore, undertaken at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Coimbatore for evolving an improved strain of pumpkin combining high yield, better fruit quality and desirable agronomic characters and the results are presented.
