Abstract: The present study was conducted at Department of Vegetable Science, College of Agriculture, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India during late kharif season of 2017. The objective was to study the character association and path coefficient analysis in F3 segregating population of bitter gourd. Fourteen F3 segregants along with eight parents were evaluated by adopting RBD with three replications. The genotypes were evaluated for 19 parameters including, vegetative growth, flowering, fruit yield and yield attributing as well as fruit quality parameters. At phenotypic level, green fruit yield vine-1 was positively and significantly correlated with days to last fruit harvest (0.26) and fruits vine-1 (0.43) while at genotypic level, positive significant correlation with sex ratio (0.25), fruit weight (0.33), number of node bearing 1st male flower (0.39), days to last fruit harvest (0.46), green fruits vine-1 (0.89) and primary branches vine-1 (0.92). Similarly, fruits vine-1, number of nodes bearing 1st male flower, fruit weight, days to initiation of 1st female flower, days to last fruit harvest, primary branches vine-1 and fruit girth in order of merits imposed positive direct effect on green fruit yield vine-1. Hence, the characters can be considered for bitter gourd improvement programme.
