14. Health benefits of Bottle gourd
Ayurvedic recommends cooked lau or bottle gourd for better
digestion.

healthy digestion
In Ayurvedic it is also know to prevent premature graying.
Bottle gourd is recommended by Ayurvedic doctors for reducing

Afterwards it was prepared by ploughing and cross ploughing
followed by laddering
Application of manure and fertilizers
Manure/ fertilizers Dose Dose Per Pit

37. Yield/ha
Maximum yield/ha was found in L11 (50.1 ton) followed by L10
(44.7 ton) and L1 (42.6 ton) while the minimum was in L3 (19.5
ton) (Fig. 12).

38. Summary
38

39. Lastly, it can be concluded that L11 was the best bottle gourd lines
among the lines used in the experiment which was followed by
L10.
Conclusion
39

40. It can be suggested that the bottle gourd lines L11 and L10 may be
used in the farmer’s field. Since this experiment was carried out
only one time in one place it needs repeated trials at different
locations for final recommendation.
