The present investigation was carried out at the Experimental Field, Division of Vegetable Science, SKUAST-K, Shalimar during kharif 2018. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Twenty nine genotypes were evaluated for various quantitative traits viz., plant height, number of primary branches, number of flowers cluster⁻¹, number of fruits cluster⁻¹, days to first flowering and yield hectare⁻¹. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among genotypes for all the traits studied except number of locules fruit⁻¹. Among the twenty nine genotypes used the highest plant height was found in genotype SK-CT-05 (157.26 cm) while, number of primary branches was found to be highest in SK-CT-06 (31.56). The highest number of flowers cluster⁻¹ and fruits cluster ⁻¹ was found in SK-CT-15 i.e., (8.86 and 8.20) respectively. The earliest days to first flowering was recorded in SK-CT-07 (19.40 days). The genotypes viz; SK-CT-27, SK-CT-16 and SK-CT-15 showed higher yield potential of 160.86 q ha⁻¹, 156.35 q ha⁻¹ and 153.53 q ha⁻¹ which was significantly higher than SK-CT-08 (23.73 q ha⁻¹).
