Abstract

There are so many vegetable crops having great importance but pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch. ex. Poir.) is one of them which has special place due to its high productivity, nutritive value, good storability, long period of availability and better transport potentialities. Matured fruits are also used as industrial raw material for carotene production (Vucetic et al., 7). A wide range of genetic diversity among the parents is essential for hybridization programme. Mahalanobis D2 analysis provides a means to quantitatively estimate the genetic diversity among crop plants (Mahalanobis, 5). Hence, such an attempt was made in the present investigation in pumpkin.
