Varietal Evaluation of Bottle Gourd on Growth and Yield under Prayagraj Conditions or Respective Agro Climatic Zone

The experiment was carried out in the SHUATS horticulture department field, which is located in the Prayagraj agroclimatic zone in Uttar Pradesh. The study, "Varietal Evaluation in Bottle Gourd," used a combination of treatments on 12 different varieties of bottle gourd, including 2021/BOGVAR -1 TO BOGVAR-12, MAHASHAKTI, and Faizabadhi long. The primary conclusions were vine length, where MAHASHAKTI showed the highest growth and 2021/BOGVAR-03 showed the lowest. The 2021/BOGVAR-06 shows the most node growth, while the 2021/BOGVAR-10 shows the lowest. In terms of fruit weight the maximum weight was seen in 2021/BOGVAR-07(1200g) and the minimum weight was observed in 2021/BOGVAR-02(492.5g), in terms of fruit yield per ha the maximum yield was seen in 2021/BOGVAR-07, 2021/BOGVAR-08 and the minimum weight was observed in 2021/BOGVAR-02, 2021/BOGVAR-03.
