Abstract: An experiment on karchikai (Momordica cymbalaria) was conducted during 2017 at Research field of Department of Vegetable Science, Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi, Gokak, dist Belagavi, University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot (Karnataka), to determine the appropriate time of planting for obtaining higher yield. Experiment comprises of 4 dates of planting viz., 1st of June, July, August and September, 2017. Tuber planting on 1st June took minimum number of days (8.48) for sprouting, maximum sprouting percentage (99.00), minimum days (17.94) to flowering, maximum number of branches (4.62) per plant and maximum vine length (89.28 cm).
