Abstract
Muskmelon (Cucumis melo Linn.) is one of the important but under
exploited vegetable crop. The present investigation was undertaken to obtain genetic
information like genetic variability, correlation coefficient, path analysis and genetic
divergence in muskmelon. The experiment comprised of 44 diverse genotypes grown
in complete randomized block design with three replications at Main Vegetable
Research Station, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand during
Summer, 2003. Observations were recorded on twelve characters viz. number of node
on which first female flower appear, days to first picking, fruit weight, fruit length,
fruit girth, pulp thickness, fruits per plant, fruit yield per plant, moisture percentage,
total soluble solids, total soluble sugars and acidity percentage.
