About the Product

The Hybrid Bottle Gourd (Usha) (Lagenaria siceraria) is a high-yielding F1 hybrid known for its vigorous vine growth, uniform light-green fruits, and tender flesh, making it ideal for both home gardens and commercial cultivation. In tropical regions like Kerala, it thrives well in warm, humid conditions and grows best with full sunlight (6–8 hours daily), well-drained fertile soil rich in organic matter, and consistent but moderate watering without waterlogging. Being a climbing vine, it requires support like a trellis for proper growth. Under ideal conditions, it starts yielding within 45–55 days, providing a steady harvest of nutritious, versatile vegetables.
