The research material consisted of twenty-eight genotypes, including three standard checks viz., Azad Kaddu, Arka Chandan, and Pusa Vikash, conducted in a Completely Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three independent replications. The germplasm of pumpkin was collected from different sources to study path co-efficient analysis of different characters on fruit yield per plant at the phenotypic and genotypic levels for different quantitative traits. The path co-efficient analysis revealed that the highly positive direct contribution towards fruit yield came from average fruit weight (0.781) followed by the number of fruit per plant (0.750) but also as well as fruit equatorial circumference (0.021) and flesh thickness (0.048) was exerted a positive direct effect on fruit yield per plant and these...

The objectives were to assess the correlation for fruit yield and yield contributing characters. The association studies showed that fruit yield per plant had highly significant and positive correlation with marketable fruit yield per plant, average fruit weight, equatorial diameter, unmarketable fruits yield per plant and number of fruits per plant at both phenotypic and genotypic levels.

The analysis of variance for the design of experiment indicated highly significant differences among the genotypes for all the characters. Based on mean performance of genotypes NDO-33 (212.16) followed by NDO-31 (199.03), NDO-24 (195.50), NDO-35 (190.20) and NDO-17 (189.23) were found as five most promising genotypes for fruits yield per plant. High magnitude PCV were observed in case of unmarketable fruit yield per plant (31.34) followed by marketable fruit yield per plant (21.46), number of fruits per plant (20.78), total fruit yield per plant (19.70) and branches per plant (14.60). Moderate PCV along with GCV were recorded for number of branches per plant (14.60, 9.57) followed by fruit circumference (12.86, 8.11), fruit length (12.26, 8.34), average fruit weight (10.23, 9.42) and plant height (10.88, 9.00). High heritability were estimated for total fruit yield per plant (93.82) followed by unmarketable fruit yield per plant (87.68), average fruit weight (84.86), days to 50% flowering (84.54) and marketable fruit yield per plant (81.13). High heritability coupled with high genetic advance were estimated for total fruit yield per plant (93.82, 38.08) followed by unmarketable fruit yield per plant (87.68, 56.60) and marketable fruit yield per plant (81.13, 35.87) which indicating opportunity for high selection response.

Analysis of variance studies indicated significant differences among all the genotypes for all the characters under study. Genetic diversity was worked out using Mahalanobis D 2 statistic. Based on D 2 analysis, the genotypes were grouped into 7 distinct non-overlapping clusters. Cluster I, II and III had 6 genotypes in each clusters. Cluster IV, V and VI also had 3 genotypes and cluster VII had presented only one genotype. The maximum intra-cluster distance was in cluster V (139.09) and minimum intracluster distance was found for cluster VII (0.00). Clustering pattern revealed that geographical diversity was not associated with genetic diversity of genotypes. The maximum inter-cluster distance was observed between clusters III to cluster VII (503.329), which suggested that members of these two clusters are genetically very diverse to each other. The inter cluster values between cluster I to cluster VII (398.733), V to VII (325.792), II to VII (315.975), V to VI (312.753) and I to V (309.983) were also high. The minimum inter-cluster D 2 value was recorded in case of cluster III to cluster IV (174.606). The wider genetic diversity were observed in cluster clusters I to VII, V to VII, II to VII, V to VI and I to V which indicated the potentiality of these diverse genotypes collection for providing basic material for future breeding programmes.
