Characterization and evaluation of hybrid pointed gourd genotypes

抄録

Nineteen hybrid genotypes of pointed gourd were characterized and evaluated their performance were studied at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Ishurdi, Pabna during the season 2010-2011. The objective of the experiment was to evaluate the nineteen genotypes hybrid in pointed gourd. The genotypes varied significantly in days to germination, vine length, number of shoots, number of node at harvest, days to flowering, vine length, number of shoots and number of node at flowering, wide variation in colour, stripe, shape, curvature of fruits, number of fruits per plant, weight of fruits per plant, pulp weight, number of seed per fruit, weight of seed per fruit and yield. The highest number of fruits (175.0) per plant was obtained from ISDHPG014 while the lowest (103.0) was obtained from ISDHPG002. The highest yield (44.54 t/ha) was obtained by ISDHPG014 while the lowest (18.73 t/ha) was recorded in ISDHPG019 (check). The genotypes ISDHPG008, ISDHPG012, ISDHPG013, ISDHPG016 and ISDHPG018 also showed better performance in respect of yield (34.37-39.60 t/ha).
