| dc.description.abstract | Oriental pickling melon is one of the melon group vegetable of the Cucurbitaceae. In Karnataka it is called by local name as samber southe or Mangalore southe. Which contain moderate amount of vitamins and minerals and the fruits possess cooling properties and are used as a skin moisturizer and as a digestive agent. Present field experiment was carried out at Department of Horticulture, GKVK, UAS, Bengaluru during the year 2010-2011 to evaluate 25 Oriental pickling melon F1 hybrids for yield, quality and pest and diseases. The F1 hybrid CMC GKVK 1 X CMC GKVK 2 have shown better performance for characters such as fruit length and fruit diameter, while the F1 hybrid CMC GKVK 2 X CMC GKVK 4 performed well for other characters such as per cent fruit set, number of fruits, total fruit yield per vine and also it was moderately resistant to powdery mildew. However, the fruit flesh thickness and total soluble solids where high with the F1 hybrid CMC GKVK 1 X CMC GKVK 12. Finally it can be inferred that among the F1 hybrids CMC GKVK 2 X CMC GKVK 4, CMC GKVK 1 X CMC GKVK 2, CMC GKVK 5 X CMC GKVK 8 and CMC GKVK 9 X CMC GKVK 2 were high yielding. For the purpose of processing F1 hybrids CMC GKVK 1 X CMC GKVK 12, CMC GKVK 7 X CMC GKVK 9, CMC GKVK 1 X CMC GKVK 2 and CMC GKVK 2 X CMC GKVK 4 were suitable. | en_US |
