Abstract
A number of varieties/hybrids have been recently developed in the country in this crop but little effort has been made so far to screen them for their suitability of growing under poly house conditions. The experiment involving 10 genotypes includes five parthenocarpic varieties namely Hilton, Kian, Isatis, PPC-2 and PPC-3 and five monoecious F1 hybrids namely Malini, Kamini, Sheetal, Alamgir CT-180 and NS-404, collected from different sources. All the genotypes had a wide range of variation for most of the characters under investigation. For fruit yield per hectare in rabi season, the genotypes Kian (200.15 q), Isatis (188.78 q), and Hilton (144.30 q) were the top performers and superior over the check variety PPC-3 (122.22 q), however, Sheetal was the least yielder genotype with 82.13 q/ha fruit yield and in summer season, the genotypes Malini (590.76 q), Hilton (572.80 q), and NS-404 (523.77 q) were the top performers and superior than the check variety PPC-3 (449.02 q) however, Sheetal was the least yielder genotype with 318.19 q/ha fruit yield. The high fruit yield recorded in the genotypes has been directly attributed to increased number of fruits per plant.
