Abstract
Combining ability analysis was under taken in seven parental lines and their 21 F1 hybrids of bottle gourd obtained from half diallel for fruit yield and its contributing characters during summer season. Data was recorded for twelve characters. The mean squares due to GCA were significant for all the nine characters. The ratio of s2gca / s2sca suggested that non-additive gene action had greater role with inheritance of characters. Out of seven parents Karjat Local (P4) was the best general combiner as it showed high GCA effect in desirable direction for most of the traits. The best promising hybrids regarding SCA effects for yield and majority of yield traits were Karjat Local x Amravati Local, Chandrapur Local x Karjat Local Hence, these crosses can be utilized in further heterosis breeding for improvement in bottle gourd.
