The present study was conducted to exploit heterotic potential and combining ability for developing early maturing, high-yielding, good quality parthenocarpic gynoecious beit alpha cucumber hybrids tailored specific environmental conditions. experimental material comprised 11 parents which were crossed produce 28 F1 through a line × tester mating design, plus two commercial check (PKH-11 Emirstar) further evaluated yield attributes under different environments (winter summer seasons) in poly-net house. mean sum of squares due genotypes, environments, G E interaction found significant (p ≤ 0.01) all the traits, except fruit diameter. wide range variability traits provided an opportunity select suitable across environments. nature magnitude heterosis estimated over checks tester's contribution highest analysis almost studied traits. Based on results pooled it concluded that parental lines PBRK-16, PK-1 testers PBRK-8, PBRK-1 exhibited superior stable performance basis performance, GCA effects its contributing On heterosis, SCA effects, cross combinations PBRK-16 PBRK-18 have number fruits per plant. However, hybrid PBRK - 16 PBRK-8 shorter length more thickness will get least market acceptance by stakeholders. As medium size type are mostly preferred having 15-18 cm weight 125-170 g. Therefore, desirable diameter can be released cultivation house both seasons. non-additive gene low narrow-sense heritability most studied, indicating effectively utilized their improvement. Hence, these promising also segregating generations identify pure with high quality. Furthermore, year-round significantly increase farmers' profitability, strengthen food security, meet demands.
