Brief Description
The study will be conducted at the MMSU Experimental Farm during the wet season of 2012. Different bittergourd hybrids will be planted, where selection of purelines will be done. The production technology for bittergourd will be followed. Application of organic fertilizer will be done using 2.0 tons per hectare. Fruits will be tagged and bagged to maintain their purity and protection from other organism that may infest or infect them. Matured fruits, one piece from each hybrid, will be harvested from each F1 hybrid and the seeds will be extracted, dried and be kept in cool storage.

Expected Output
  • Production technology for selected promising bittergourd purelines
  • Best bittergourd pureline
