Bitter gourd or bitter melon is undoubtedly one of the most
significant members of the cucurbitaceous vegetable crops.
Through the exploitation of this highly potential crop, novel
mechanisms and strategies can be developed that will open
the wide arrays for further improvement. Keeping this
objective in mind, a field investigation was conducted with
twenty genotypes of bitter gourd at Vegetable Research
Farm of Banaras Hindu University to estimate the character
association as well as direct and indirect effects of different
yield traits on average yield per plant through correlation
and path coefficient analysis. The data demonstrated that
the positive and significant interrelationship with average
yield per plant was obtained by various traits, viz., node
number of first staminate flower (0.375), node number of
first pistillate flower (0.54), vine length (0.417), fruit length
(0.356), fruit circumference (0.79), average fruit weight (0.768),
fruits per plant (0.637), and internodal length (0.3) while
negative significant correlation was followed by days to
anthesis of first staminate flower (-0.331) and days to first
harvest (-0.355). The average fruit weight (0.572) had highest
direct positive effect on average yield per plant followed
by traits like days to fifty per cent flowering (0.296), number
of fruits per plant (0.274), and number of primary branches
per plant (0.259) whereas maximum direct negative effect
was recorded by days to anthesis of first staminate flower
(-0.263) followed by internodal length (-0.162) and days to
first harvest (-0.152). The traits with high positive direct
effect should be more prioritised for effective selection of
promising genotypes for further crop improvement
programmes.
