The present investigation was carried out at Main Experiment Station, Department of Vegetable Science, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad (.) during summer season, to evaluate the available germplasms for yield and its component traits of 45 genotypes, with three replications in Randomized Block Design. The study revealed that the mean sum squares due to genotypes were significant for all the characters, though the wide range of genetic variability in the material. The higher magnitude of coefficient of variation at phenotypic as well as genotypic levels were observed days to anthesis first staminate flower , days to anthesis first pistillatte flower and vine length and lower value in days taken for anthesis of first staminate flower and days to first fruit harvest. The presences of high heritability with high genetic advance in per cent of mean were observed for node number to first staminate floweranthesis and vine length at last harvest during both the years exhibiting additive gene effect. | Evaluation of germplasmfor PCV GCV and Heritability in luffa Luffa cylindrica Roem.
