Ridge Gourd Seeds

A HIGH yielding ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula) variety, with medium-sized fruits, has been developed by the scientists at the department of Olericulure, College of Horticulture of the Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) at Vellanikkara.
Developed through single plant selection from local collections from Cherthala, the new variety is ideally suited for growing in the warm humid tropics of Kerala, especially Thrissur, Palakkad and Ernakulam districts.
