Abstract: Experiment was carried out at Horticulture Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur and Farmer field of Chittaurgarh district during Kharif and zaid season, 2012 and 2013. Crossing were made among ten parents of bitter gourd viz., Solan Hara, Pusa Do Mousmi, BG 14, Green Long, MDU-1, IC-85605, IC-45346, IC-68272-1, IC-68237 and Solan Collection using partial diallel mating system to produce 45 F1 crosses. Parents, their crosses and check viz., Jhalri, US-6214 and US-6203 were evaluated in field trials in two locations at Udaipur and Chittaurgarh in two different seasons which consists four environments. The stability analysis revealed that mean square due to genotypes was significant for all the characters in the experiments. The mean square due to linear component i.e. G x E (linear) was significant for all the characters except node at which first female flower appeared. For yield and yield contributing traits hybrid P1×P9 was found stable and suitable under favourable environment. Hybrid P2 x P6 and P2 x P10 found stable and suitable under favourable environment for quality trait (T.S.S). Hybrid P1×P9 which exhibited stability and suitability under favourable environment for number of fruit per vine, fruit length, fruit weight, specific gravity and total yield per vine.The significant mean squares due to pooled deviation for all the traits except node at which first female flower appeared and yield per vine depicted that the genotypes differed considerably with respect to their stability and prediction for these traits would be difficult.
