Abstract

An experiment was conducted during 1989-91 to study stability of 10 cultivars of bittergourd (Momordica charantia L.) for economic traits.'Punjab 14' gave higher total (23.09 tonnes/ha) and
marketable yield (20.33 tonnes/ha) and proved most stable for days taken to first harvest, days for 50% harvest and fruit weight. It also proved stable for total and marketable yield under favourable conditions. 'C 96' was most stable for fruits/plant and infestation by melon fruit-fly (Dacus cucurbitae Coq.) and  'NDBT 1 was most stable for fruit-fly infestation only.
