This study was conducted to estimate combing ability in bottle gourd. Fifty eight gourd genotypes comprising 45 hybrids, 10 parents and 3 checks were evaluated three different environments. The data analyzed as per Method-II, Model-I of Griffing (1956). Significant GCA effects desirable direction evident the inbred lines P6, P2 SCA hybrids P9 x P10, P4 P6 for days first harvest on pooled basis ...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of grafting on fatty acid profile and some physicochemical properties watermelon seed oil. The ‘Crimson Tide’ cultivar was used as scion while two wild (Citrullus lanatus var. citroides (A1 A2)), one Lagenaria siceraria (A3) Cucurbita maxima Duchesne x moschata (A4) were rootstocks. use rootstock significantly influenced physical parameters seeds oils...

Salinity is an important factor in reduced cucumber yield and quality. Grafting on the resistant rootstock could keep growth near to optimum condition. The aim of the present research is to investigate the characteristics of different rootstocks on physiology and fruit characteristics of cucumber. Treatments were rootstocks [Rn: Nongrafted (Cucumis sativus v. DAVOSII), Rt: Tanbal (Cucurbita max...
