Abstract

Kankoda (Momordica dioica Roxb) is a potential and economically important vegetable crop with good nutritional and medicinal value. Characterization was carried out by studying 9 qualitative and 17 quantitative traits. Categorical differences among 15 genotypes including two checks viz Indira Kankoda-1 and CG Kankoda-2 were observed in traits such as days to first female flowering node, stem colour, leaf colour, leaf length, leaf width, leaf margin, leaf colour, fruit shape, fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit weight, number of fruits/plant, fruit yield/plant, days to first male flowering, density of spines, seed colour, days to first female flowering, vine length and 100-seed weight. Several of these traits are useful as genetic markers and for hybridization programmes.
