Genetic Divergence, Heritability and Yield Traits of Different Ash Gourd Accessions (Benincasa Hispida)

Abstract

A study was undertaken to identify the best genotype for optimum yield under coastal ecosystem. During the experimental period, the various genetic divergence characters such as genetic variability and heritability, genetic advance, interrelationship between yield and yield attributing characters were investigated for selected 27 accessories of ash gourd. The study revealed that higher phenotypic co-efficient variation (PCV) and genotypic co-efficient variation (GCV) were recorded with respect to the characters for node number of first male flower, single fruit weight and yield per vine, whereas, moderate GCV and PCV were observed for node number of first female flower. The result further revealed that higher heritability values were observed in all 27 genotypes of ash gourd.
