Abstract: Combining ability in ridge gourd, eight different parental lines were selected, they were mated in half diallel fashion, resultant 28 hybrids were developed. Analysis of variance is significant due to GCA and SCA were observed for quality and seed parameters, which indicates the predominance of additive and non-additive gene action and which suggested that ample scope for direct selection or heterosis breeding. Among eight parents, DMRG-25, DMRG-36 and DMRG-22 were found to be best general combiners. Significant sca effects were positive in direction, maximum positive significant sca effects were observed in the cross DMRG-22 × DMRG-44(0.77) for rind thickness, the cross DMRG-36 × Arka Sumeet (1.99) for flesh thickness, the cross DMRG-36 ×Arka Sumeet (36.72) for ascorbic acid, the cross DMRG-22 × DMRG-15(3.65) for calcium content, the cross DMRG-36 × ArkaSumeet (24.75) for number of seed per fruit, the cross Arka Sumeet × DMRG-15 (2.28) for hundred seed weight.
