An experiment was conducted during kharif, 2016 at College of Horticulture, Venkataramannagudem, West Godavari District of Andhra Pradeshto study the effect of cultivars on growth and yield parameters in gherkin.The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design (Randomized Block Design) with different cultivars (Royal, Ajax and Chandini). Chandini cultivar showed superiority over other cultivars in terms of all plant growth parameters, yield contributing parameters like fruit length, fruit diameter, mean fruit weight (20.55 g), number of fruits per vine (65.84), yield per vine (3.44 kg), yield per plot (61.99 kg/plot), estimated yield per hectare (13.34 t/ha) and 100 seed weight.
