ABSTRACT
A field experiment was carried out at University of Horticultural Sciences Bagalkot, Karnataka to study yield and quality parameters of oriental pickling melon. The results revealed that among the twenty four genotypes, GR-2-1 recorded maximum vine length (204.00 cm) and maximum number of leaves were found in GR-3 (201.66). GR-2-1 genotype recorded maximum number of primary branches per plant (7.49). BCMCO-01 genotype was superior with respect to yield attributes like number of fruits per plant (13.50). Highest fruit weight noticed in Udupi Local (1.31 kg), while maximum fruit yield was noticed in Sirsi Local (18.41 ton/ha). With respect to quality parameters, Sirsi Local genotype was recorded high TSS content (5.85? Brix). Maximum ? - carotene content was found in Soubhagya (0.69 µg/100g). Where in highest total sugars were noticed in Sirsi Local (4.96 %) and higher reducing sugar in GR-1-1 (2.65 %). Non reducing sugars were maximum in Sirsi 2-13 (4.34 %). Though oriental pickling melon is an under exploited crop, it has good yield and quality attributes. Thus identification of promising genotypes as a commercial crop for the area with high yield and quality fruits would help the farmers in its adoption and improving their economic status.
