Abstract In order to select superior new germplasm resources of Momordica charantia,this paper carried out comparision for field characteristics and anaysis on 6 genotypes of Momordica charantia germplasm resources. The results indicated that there were obvious differences in characteristics of leaf,flower and fruit between different Momordica charantia germplasm resources. The first female flower of 6 tested germplasm resources set on 6.59-16.23 knob. The size of first male flower was between 2.1-3.8 cm. The female flower rate was 16.40%-56.21%. The single fruit weight was 2.3-41.2 g. No. 2014,2017 and 2019 had the highest yield about 24.9-28.8 t·hm-2. There were no significant differences in the contents of protein,moisture and crude fiber between the tested germplasm
genotypes and common Momordica. But the contents of VC,Ca and Fe in Momordica charantia were obviousely higher than those in common Momordica. Its Ca content was 5-7 times of that in commmon Momordica,and Fe content was 9-36 times of that in commmon Momordica. Based on the comprehensive evaluation of the above character indexes,2 germplasm resources No. 2014 and No. 2019 performed had the best character with better value for plantation and development.
