Abstract: Thirteen parents along with thirty hybrids were evaluated during two successive years 2013-14 and 2014-2015 and pooled analysis was also carried out at VRC, GBPUAT Pantnagar, for twelve yield attributing characters. High phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was recorded than their correspondent genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV). This was because of the reason that variability at phenotypic level includes both genotypic and environment variability. In pooled data high PCV was observed for the character number of unmarketable fruits per plant (44.07%), whereas high GCV was recorded for number of marketable fruits per plant (40.37%). High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean was recorded for total number of fruits per plant (67.99%) indicating importance of additive gene action controlling this character.
