Abstract
Pusa Pasand is the first early improved flattish round heat tolerant variety of summer squash for spring summer season cultivation under open and protected cultivation during winter (offseason) developed by IARI for North Indian plains. It can set fruit and produce seed under high temperature condition. Apart from superior quality characters, it has an average fruit yield of 16.0, 24.5 and 22.8 t/ha which is 40.9, 62.1 and 64.4% superior over local check, during spring summer season under open field condition; naturally ventilated polyhouse and plastic low tunnel during winter season, respectively. Its continuous and concentrated fruit setting will be highly acceptable to the growers.Downloads
