A field experiment was conducted to determine the flowering and fruiting behavior of bottle gourd var Punjab Komal during off season cultivation under low tunnel. The experiment was laid in randomized block design with seven treatments in three replications. The treatments comprised the seven dates of sowings i.e., 15 November and 30 November under low tunnel, 15 and 30 December under tunnel, 1 February, 15 February and 1 March in open field. Results were found to be significant in most of the flowering and yield contributing parameters of bottle gourd. Fruit girth (8.65 cm), fruit per plant (8.91), yield per plant (3.68 kg), yield per hectare (606.55 quintal), net income (Rs. 341865) and cost benefit ratio (1:3.38) were maximum when the date of sowing was 30 November under low tunnel. Meanwhile number of days taken to first female flower, and first harvest were the minimum when the date of sowing was 30 November under low tunnel. The results suggested that bottle gourd cultivation under poly tunnel accounted for increment in fruit yield and induced precocity due to raised temperature during flowering stage and fruit set. Bottle gourd has high market value in off-season, when crop was sown on 30 November under low tunnel.
