The field experiment was arranged using a randomized complete block design with local variety Fujian F<sub>1</sub> with four treatments and three replications viz. (Urea) T<sub>1</sub>: Control (0 kg N/ha), T<sub>2</sub>: 25 kg N/ha, T<sub>3</sub>: 50 kg/ha, T<sub>4</sub>: 75 kg N/ha were used for the present study with three replications. In treatment T<sub>4</sub>, the tallest sponge gourd plant was 123.5 cm, while in treatment T<sub>3</sub>, it measured 112.5 cm. For treatment T<sub>1</sub>, the smallest plant measured 61.33 cm. In terms of leaf numbers, treatment T<sub>4</sub> had the greatest number of leaves 63 while treatment T<sub>1</sub> had the lowest number of leaves 30. The highest diameter of the leaf measured was 13.05 cm in T<sub>4</sub> and the lowest diameter found was 6.8 cm in T<sub>1</sub>. Out of the four treatments, treatment T<sub>4</sub> had the tallest leaves, measuring 12.73 cm, followed by treatment T<sub>3</sub>, which had leaves measuring 9.7 cm. In T<sub>1</sub> and T<sub>2</sub>, the smallest leaf lengths were found to be 6.7 and 7.8 cm, respectively. The tallest length of the petiole found was 7.8 cm in T<sub>4</sub> and the smallest length of the petiole recorded was 5.5 cm for the treatment T<sub>1</sub>. The longest fruit measured from T<sub>4</sub> was 28.33 cm, while the tiniest fruit came from T<sub>1</sub> and measured 18.6 cm. The treatment T<sub>4</sub> had the highest fruit weight, measuring 227 g, while treatment T<sub>3</sub> had a weight of 176 g. The minimum weight was 93 g found in T<sub>1</sub>. Treatment T<sub>2</sub> has shown the weight of the fruit those were 134 g.</p>}, journal={Journal of Plant Stress Physiology}, author={Mahmud, Riad and Naznin, Faria and Bristy, Farhana Binte Quyyum and Tasin, Tasnova and Rana, Sohel and Khan, Rafat Nur Abdullah and Hossen, Kawsar}, year={2023}, month={Dec.}, pages={44–47} }
