• The bower system of training is best for snakegourd. To obtain straight fruits, some growers tie weights to the bottom end of fruits. This facilitates hanging of the fruits which in turn enables them to grow straight downwards.The fruits are very long, slender and very soft it is always advisable not to allow the fruits to touch the ground. In other words, if the fruits are hanged, they generally grow downward straight. Therefore, training is essential to snakegourd.
