Abstract
A field experiment was conducted in the Vegetable Experimental Field, College of Horticulture in Venkataramannagudem, Andhra Pradesh, during the summer and kharif seasons of 2022 in order to identify parents and cross combinations which have performed best for major quality attributes. To generate 21 F1 crosses, seven parents were maintained in a parental block (Summer 2022) and crossed in a half diallel mating pattern. For quality parameters like TSS, vitamin-C and iron the crosses viz., Preethi× Special Boldar, Kashi Mayuri× IC -68314, IC-68314 × Special Boldar were identified as promising ones. Charantin is important quality attribute, which was reported to be anti-diabetic in nature. Kashi Mayuri × IC-68314, IC-433630 × IC-68314 and IC-68314 × Special Boldar among the hybrids while IC-68314, IC-469512 and IC-433630 among the parents were found to be best performers for the charantin content in fruits. The identified promising crosses were further evaluated under multilocational trails and various seasons to know the potentiality before commercial release.
