The present investigation was conducted to assess the genetic variability and genetic diversity of bottle gourd Lagenaria seceraria (Mol.) Standl.] Among 24 genotypes collected from different institute/SAUs during kharif season (2018-2019). Analysis of variance showed significant variation for all traits indicating wide range of variability in genotypes. The highest genotypic and phenotypic co-efficience of variation was observed in terms of fruit girth and fruit length, which indicates that high degree of variability in these character and suggested that possibility of yield improvement through selection of this traits. |
