ABSTRACT
The present study was carried out to know the performance of parents and their hybrids for different traits attributing for yield in ridge gourd at Department of Vegetable Science, KRC College of Horticulture, Arabhavi during 2010-12. Among the parents used for investigation KRG-13, KRG-7, KRG-8 and ASJ were high yielding of 0.74, 0.65, 0.61 and 0.61 kg per plant, respectively. The hybrids KRG-3 x ASM , KRG-3 x PN, KRG-10 x PN and KRG-11 x PN recorded high yield of 0.93, 0.85, 0.84 and 0.80 kg per plant and showed highest estimated yield of 55.68, 55.44, 50.72 and 50.83 quintals per hectare, respectively in ridge gourd. The hybrid KRG-3 x ASM was most promising for various traits which contribute to highest per plant yield. Based on their performance parents can be used for further breeding programme and hybrids could be exploited for cultivation.
