Bottle gourd, bitter gourd, sponge gourd, and snake melon are members of four separate genera in the Cucurbitaceae family, which add to a diverse variety of food sources as well as disease resistance. This research was performed out through six seasons. According to the homogeneity test, six inbred lines of bottle gourd and three inbred lines of bitter gourd, sponge gourd, and snake melon were created after five self-breeding generations. The most significant values for the most horticultural computed traits were discovered in inbred lines (BO- 6 and BO- 2), (Bit- 2), (Sp- 1 and Sp- 3), and (SN 2 and SN 3) from the aforementioned crops, respectively. Inbred lines (BO- 6), (Bit- 1), (Sp- 1), and (SN 2) exhibit the lowest Meloidogyne incognita infection values for bottle gourd, bitter gourd, sponge gourd, and snake melon. When compared to other genotypes, the bitter gourd inbred line, Bit-1 demonstrated the most significant reduction in all nematode parameters.
