Abstract
During the month of February 13 to May 15 in the year 2020 a research experiment was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Allahabad, (U.P.). The research experiment consists 17 hybrids of bottle gourd which are studied and replicated three times in a Randomized Block Design in 7.5 × 3 m2 plot size. It was found that the hybrid BG-HYB-18-2 gives best performance in terms of growth, quality and morphology of the experiment. The minimum days required to appearance of first male flower (47.33). The minimum days required to appearance of first female flower (56.66). The maximum number of branches vine-1 (17.88), the maximum vine length (5.64 m). The maximum fruit weight (829.44 gm), the maximum number of fruits vine-1 (9.77). The maximum yield plant-1 (8.10 kg), the maximum yield hectare-1 (360.15 quintal). The maximum Ascorbic Acid content (34.11 mg/gm of fruit pulp). The Maximum TSS (4.17oBr

Conclusion
It is concluded from the investigation that the treatment T2 (BG HYB 18-2) was found superior followed by T15 (Chandan) in growth and higher yield with Quality factors. In this investigation the treatment T2 (2018/BOGHYB-2) was found suitable for cultivation in Zaid season for better Quality (Ascorbic acid : 34.11 gm/mg of fruit pulp) and (TSS : 4.17°Brix).
