Abstract
An experiment was conducted using 7 x 7 diallel population of ridge gourd to study the general and specific combining ability (GCA and SCA) of parents and their hybrids for 17 yield traits in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data on 17 characters were subjected to analysis of GCA and SCA variances and their effects. The GCA and SCA variance were found highly significant for all the characters except days to first female flowering. Low magnitude of σ²g/σ²s ratio was observed for all the traits other than days to first male flowering, days to first female flowering, fruit length (cm), fruit width (mm), individual fruit weight (g). On the other hand, σ²g/σ²s ratio was more than 1.0 for days to first male flowering, days to first female flowering, fruit length (cm), fruit width (mm) and individual fruit weight (g). The general combining effects (GCA) of the parents revealed that none of the parent was found to be good general combiner for all the characters. However, in the present investigation, parent P3 was observed to be one of the best general combiner as it has shown significant GCA effects in desirable direction for number of fruits per plant and fruit yield per plant. It also observed significant GCA effects for parameters related to earliness viz., days to first male flowering, node number of first female flower and days to first harvest. Similarly, parent P5 was also good general combiners for fruit length, fruit width and individual weight of fruit, parent P6 and P7 were also good general combiners for fruit length, individual weight of fruit except fruit width. The parent P2 and P4 were also good general combiners for number of fruits per plant. The estimate of SCA effects revealed that none of the crosses was consistently superior for all the characters. The highest yielding hybrid (P3 x P4) had registered the highest SCA effect for fruit yield per plant. Similarly, the cross combinations P6 x P7, P3 x P6, P3 x P7, P1 x P5, P2 x P6, P4 x P5 were observed as good specific combinations for fruit yield per plant. The hybrid P2 x P6 was good specific combiner for days to first male flowering, hybrid P3 x P4 for sex ratio followed by P4 x P5 and P5 x P7. Hybrid P1 x P4, P6 x P7, P3 x P6 and P2 x P4 were found as good specific combinations for fruit length, P4 x P6 and P3 x P4 for fruit width. The hybrids P3 x P6, P6 x P7, P3 x P4, P2 x P4 and P1 x P5 were observed as good specific combinations for individual fruit weight.
