Abstract

The present investigation was carried out at the Vegetable Research Station, Sri Konda Laxman Telangana Horticultural University, Rajendranagar, Telangana, during three consecutive summer seasons 2022, 2023, and 2024. The results showed significant variation in all parameters across the three seasons. Among the genotypes, the highest fruit length (41.30 cm, 38.27 cm, and 42.10 cm) and fruit width (14.7 cm, 14.63 cm, and 15.00 cm) were observed in RHRBG35 and NDBG-28, respectively. While the genotype DBOG-225 recorded the highest fruit weight (1210 g and 1260 g) in 2022 and 2023, respectively, during 2024 RHRBG-35 recorded the highest fruit weight (1260 g). The highest fruit yield per hectare (342.79 q and 385.92 q) was recorded in VRBOG-16 during 2022 and 2023 respectively, while RHRBG-35 recorded the highest fruit yield per hectare (380.08 q) during 2024. Basis on overall performance and highest yield, genotype RHRBG-35 is recommended for large-scale cultivation under the Southern agro-climatic conditions of Telangana.
