Author(s): Dr. RK Yadav
Abstract: Kheksi (Momordica dioica Roxb. 2n = 28) belongs to the family of Cucurbitaceae and it is a nutritionally, diocious and perennial having a wide range of adoptability distributed in tropical and sub-tropical parts of India. It is popularly known as Kankoda, Teasel gourd, Spine gourd, Kantola, Meetha Karela and is cultivated by a small group of Triable farmers of Chhattisgarh state .The green fruits of Kheksi are used for vegetable purpose. In order to increase its productivity an evaluation work on performance of various promising genotypes was carried out for present study. On the basis of two years yield data, Ambika 12-2, Ambika 12-1 (now a day its released by name of Chhattisgarh Kankoda-2 and Ambika 12-3 were found significantly better in green fruit yield, early picking with more number of green fruits / plant than the RMF-37 (Indira Kankoda-1). Therefore, these genotypes were identified and recommended for cultivation of Kheksi genotypes in Northern Hill Zone of Chhattisgarh state.
