Performance of Different Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) Hybrids for Growth, Yield and Quality under Prayagraj Agro-Climatic Condition

An experimental material comprised of 10 hybrid of pumpkin viz., SADABAHAR, PK-2507 F1hybrid, P6 F1 hybrid, P6 Gold F1hybrid, SS-76 F1 hybrid, SURAJ F1hybrid, SIPRA F1 hybrid, PRITVI F1hybrid, LHP-SINGHAM F1hybrid, SW-1001 F1hybrid.The investigation was carried out in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. Main Experiment Station of the Department of Vegetable Science at Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences Prayagraj (U.P) during the spring season. Present investigation reveuled that pumpkin hybrids viz, vine length cm (SW-1001 F1hybrid), no of braches (PK-2507 F1hybrid) performance best in term of growth. Two hybrids namely LHP-SINGHAM F1hybrid and SW-1001 F1hybrid performance best in term of yield. For the maximum number of fruit per plant and minimum node number for the first staminate flower anthesis was observed in the case of LHP-SINGHAM F1hybrid which is promoted to earliness and high yielding. Two hybrids namely P6 Gold F1hybrid TSS (°Brix), LHP-SINGHAM F1hybrid Vitamin c /100gm.
