Abstract: Study of 40 genotypes of Bitter gourd was carried out during Kharif season 2014 and 2015 in central Uttar Pradesh, India to study the association among fruit quality and their direct and indirect influence on total marketable fruit yield and income. Observations were recorded on Total Soluble Solid (TSS) and vitamin C content and data analyzed statistically. Comparatively higher total soluble solid was recorded in IC-085626 (4.96 & 5.58) and maximum Vitamin ‘C’ was recorded in IC-085612 (81.05 & 81.57) followed by IC-085616 (80.49 & 81.04) and IC-085622 (76.67 & 79.88) which were statistically at par with each other and significantly higher from the check germplasms. Minimum Vitamin ‘C’ was recorded in PBIG-5 (70.47 & 71.20) during both the years of investigation. It was possibly due to genotypic and phenotypic characters of the germplasms respectively during both the years of investigation suggesting most efficient as well as highly profitable.
