Abstract:
A study was carried out on heterosis for fruit yield and yield related traits in sponge gourd. Thirty six F1 hybrids were generated by full diallel (including reciprocals) mating system using six diverse genotypes. These F1 hybrids along with six parents were evaluated in randomized block design with two replication at Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru College of Agriculture and Research Institute, Karaikal during 2023. Observation were recorded on five randomly selected tagged plant from each treatment for yield and yield attributing character viz., vine length, number of primary branches per vine, number of nodes per vine, sex ratio, days to first fruit harvest, fruit length, fruit girth, number of fruits per vine, fruit yield per vine, TSS and crude fibre. Based on standard heterosis, the best cross combination was Pusa Sneha × Kashi Shreya in terms of yield and yield component traits followed by Pusa Sneha × Kashi Rakshita, Kashi Rakshita × Kashi Shreya and Pusa Supriya × Kashi Shreya. Kashi Shreya × Kashi Rakshita was the best performed cross for TSS and crude fibre followed by Phule Prajaktha × Kashi Rakshita and Pusa Sneha × Kashi Shreya.
