Abstract

Five divergent genotypes/varieties of cucumber and twenty F1’s were evaluated to study their combining ability. Among the parents, P5 (CS-39), P4 (CS-37) and P3 (CS-17) proved to be the best combiners for yield and yield contributing traits. The hybrid P4 x P5 and P5 x P3 were good specific combiners for the first female flowering. The hybrid P4 x P3 for the number of fruits and P4 x P5 and P5 x P4 were found to be good specific combiners for both tender and ripe fruit weight per vine.
