Abstract: A set of 15 hybrids of sponge gourd has been evaluated for the study of “Evaluation of sponge gourd hybrids for growth, yield and quality traits”. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block design in three replications at the Department of Horticulture, Naini Agriculture institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Naini during Spring summer 2020-2021. Analysis of variance has showed the significant differences among hybrids for all 10 characters. 5 out of 15 hybrids were found superior for different characters. These 5 hybrids were better for more than one character. High genetic advance as % mean (>20%) has been recorded for fruit yield per plot(kg) and fruit yield (kg/plant) along with high heritability. These traits are governed by additive genes resulting in improvement of traits. Hybrid AVT-2018/SPGHYB-7 (153.3) has performed well in Prayagraj, having highest fruit yield (q/ha) than other tested hybrids and showing superiority for yield and yield attributes. Fruit yield (kg/plant) showed a positive and significant correlation along with fruit yield (kg/plot) at both genotypic and phenotypic levels. The pattern of group constellation proves the existence of significant amount of variability. Thus, selection fir these charaters has been proved efficient for better yield and improvement of sponge gourd.
