Abstract
ICAR-Indian Institute of Vegetable Research, Varanasi has developed 24 improved climate-smart varieties/hybrids that are spread across the country with high yields and resistance/tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, along with numerous production and protection technologies. Additionally, protocols for processed products like bottle gourd kheer mix, bitter gourd chips, petha, and parwal sweet have been developed. The adoption of these cucurbit-based technologies is greatly benefiting small and marginal farmers in securing economic prosperity. River-bed cultivation of cucurbitaceous vegetable crops, using natural methods with minimal input, has proven highly profitable for resource-poor farming communities.
