Yield/ha

Maximum yield/ha was found in L11 (50.1 ton) followed by L10 (44.7 ton) and L1 (42.6 ton) while the minimum was in L3 (19.5 ton) (Fig. 12).

37

Summary

38

Lastly, it can be concluded that L11 was the best bottle gourd lines

among the lines used in the experiment which was followed by L10.

Conclusion

39

It can be suggested that the bottle gourd lines L11 and L10 may be

used in the farmer’s field. Since this experiment was carried out only one time in one place it needs repeated trials at different locations for final recommendation.
