Standard heterosis for yield and its component traits in nine F1 hybrids developed from nine parents and two checks indicated that some outstanding F1 hybrids as compared to Pant Khira 1 were PCUC 202 × PCUC 101 (number of fruits per plant 40.00% heterosis); closely followed by PCUC 208 × PCUC 45 (37.27% heterosis) and PCUC 202 × PCUC 45 (22.17% heterosis) over both the seasons. The crosses PCUC 202 × PCUC 45 (146.96 q/ha, 17.91% heterosis), PCUC 202 × PCUC 101 (144.71 q/ha, 44.26% heterosis) and PCUC 208 × PCUC 45 (122.69, 13.11% heterosis).
