(Seed Health Management for Better Productivity)Advances in Breeding and Seed Production Techniques of CucurbitsD.K. SinghDepartment of Vegetable Science, G.B.P.U.A.&T., Pantnagar-263145 (Uttarakhand)The cucurbitaceae consists of about 118 genera and 825 species. The cucurbits shareabout 5.6% of the total vegetable production of India and according to FAO estimate, cucurbitswere cultivated on about 42.9 lakh ha with the productivity of 10.52 t/ha. According to an estimateIndia will need to produce 215mt vegetable by 2015 to provide food and nutritional security at anindividual level and being the largest group of vegetable, cucurbits provide better scope toenhance overall productivity and production. Investment in hybrid technology is particularlyrelevant for developing countries, where feeding the increasing population in the face ofdecreasing agricultural areas and a declining resource base, already poses formidable problems.This is a real option to meet huge production increases that are required in the decades ahead.Presently about 15% of area of vegetable is under hybrids. The term hybrid variety is used todesignate F 1 populations that are used for commercial planting. The F 1 s are obtained by crossinggenetically unlike parents. Rapid advances in plant breeding and associated seed productiontechnologies have served to enhance the competitiveness of hybrids by increasing crop and seedyield per hectare reducing the cost involved and improving seed quality. Therefore,exploitation of hybrid and different seed production technologies involved for cucurbits have beendiscussed.CucurbitsThe commonly grown cucurbits are listed below with their Hindi name, English name andbotanical name:Hindi Name English Name Botanical NameKheera Cucumber Cucumis sativusKharbuza Muskmelon Cucumis meloTurbuz Watermelon Citrullus lanatusLauki Bottle gourd Lagenaria sicerariaKaddu Pumpkin Cucurbita moschataKarela Bitter gourd Mormordica charantiaChikani Torai Sponge gourd Luffa cylindricaNasadar Torai Ridge gourd Luffa acutangulaParwal Pointed gourd Trichosanthes dioicaPetha Ash or wax gourd Benincasa hispidaTinda Round melon Praecitrullus fistulosusKakri Long melon Cucumis melo var. utilissimusChichinda Snake gourd Trichosanthes cucumerinaChappan Kaddu Summer squash Cucurbita pepoVilayati Kaddu Winter squash Cucurbita maximaAskas Chayote Sechium eduleKakora Kakora Momordica sinensisPhoot Snap melon Cucumis melo var. momordicaKundru Ivy gourd Momordica cochinchinensisSend Mango melon Cucumis melocultusthe- 84 -
