The present investigation was undertaken with 25 genotypes of bottle gourd for evaluating their performance for various horticultural characters. The genotype Sarika was found to possess maximum number of primary branches, while, Anand Bottlegourd-1 recorded maximum vine length. The cultivar Thar Samridhi was noted for maximum number of leaves and thicker flesh and the genotype NBBL-12 was noted for earliness to flowering and fruiting. The genotype Gaja was found to be superior and promising for lower sex ratio (male to female), more number of fruits per vine, higher fruit yield and seed yield per hectare. Performance studies revealed that the genotypes Gaja, NS-421, NBBL-12, Sharada, INDAM-204, NS-443, Super Dhana, Arka Bahar and Krushi Sampada were found promising for fruit yield and Anand, Gaja, Gutkha and NS-443 for seed yield.
