Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the field of Shabgram village ununder Bogra district with 16
genotypes of pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) during the period from 16 september 2017 to 16
September 2018. The genotypes were, G1 *BD 4587; G2 *BD 2203; G3 BD264; G4 BD 2214;
G5 BD309; G6 BD 204; G7 BD249; G8 BD 245; G9 BD 9492; G10 BD 258; G10 BD 258; G11
BD 246; G12 BD 2236; G13 BD 2205; G14 BD 223; G15 BD 242; and G16 BD251. The
experiment was laid out Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications
and the genotypes were randomly assigned into the pits of each replications with the spacing of
3m X 3m. Number of male and female flowers, pedicel length of male and female flowers,
length of pedicel, days to first flower, leaf breadth and length, fruit weight and yield per plant
were studied. Considering yield contributing characters and yield genotype G14 (BD246), G6
(BD204), G12 BD2236) and G11 (BD246) were found better in compare to other genotypes. So
these genotypes may be considered for future breeding program.
