The present study was conducted during January to June 2024 at the Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj, to evaluate the performance of 15 sponge gourd genotypes under the local agro-climatic conditions. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. Significant variation was observed among the genotypes for growth, yield, and quality traits. Genotype 2022/SPGVAR-6 outperformed others in fruit yield per plant, number of fruits per vine, TSS, and vitamin C content, and also recorded the highest gross return, net return, and benefit-cost ratio (4.44). 2022/SPGVAR-7 excelled in vine length and fruit length, while 2022/SPGVAR-4 had the highest fruit weight. The variety Lalita showed superiority in fruit diameter, days to germination, and days to first male flower appearance. These findings suggest 2022/SPGVAR-6 as the most promising variety for cultivation under Prayagraj conditions.
