Description The research investigation entitled Effect of sowing time and planting methods on production
of bottle gourd was conducted at the research farm and laboratory of Department of Vegetable
Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during 2011-12. The experiment was laid out in
split plot design replicated thrice with five different date of sowing as main plot treatments and three
different planting methods as sub-plot treatments, thus making a total of fifteen treatment combination,
from the various parameters recorded percent establishment of seedlings at 30 days of sowing, vine
length (cm) at 30, 45, 60 and 75 days after sowing and at final harvest, primary branches per plant,
lowest node at which first female flower appear, fruit length (cm), fruit diameter(cm), fruit weight (g),
number of fruits per vine, early fruit yield (q/ha) and total fruit yield (q/ha) were maximum with 15th
December date of sowing (D1) and direct seed sowing under poly-tunnel (M2) planting method i.e. D1
M2. while, number of days taken to first harvest was minimum with 15th February date of sowing (D5)
and direct seed sowing under poly-tunnel (M2) planting method i.e. D5 M2 and highest harvest index
(%) recorded with 15th December date of sowing (D1) and transplanting of seedlings under poly-tunnel
(M3) planting method i.e. D1 M3 respectively. So, it is concluded from the present investigation that to
get higher early (410.91 q/ha) and total yield (582.30 q/ha) of bottle gourd the crop should be sown on
15th December (D1) with direct seed sowing under poly-tunnel (M2) planting methods i.e. D1 M2. This
treatment combination recorded cost: benefit of 1:3:10. This treatment combination resulted in a net
return of Rs.3,08,710/ha.
