ABSTRACT
A field investigation was carried out with twenty four genotypes of wild melon to study the genetic variability and correlation of different character. High GCV and PCV (20%) were observed for leaf area, number of fruits per vine, average fruit weight, fruit length, fruit breadth, yield per vine, fruit cavity size, number of seed per fruit, fruit flesh thickness, TSS, vitamin C and seed to pulp ratio. High heritability (h2) coupled with high genetic advance over mean (GAM) was observed for vine length, leaf area, node at first female flowering, number of fruits per vine, average fruit weight, fruit length, fruit breadth, yield per vine, fruit cavity size, fruit flesh thickness and number of seeds per fruit. The correlation studies revealed that the fruit yield was significant and positive correlation with all character except first flowering and ten fruit weight.
Key words :
GCV & PCV, Genetic variability, Growth & yield attributes, Heritability, Wild melon genotypes.
