Data were analyzed using analysis of variance and continued with the BNJ Test with a level of 5%. The results showed a significant effect on all quantitative parameters such as harvest age, fruit length, fruit diameter, productivity, and storage life. From the study, it can be concluded that the PA 001 variety of bitter melon has qualitative character advantages in the form of leaf shape, leaf blade, leaf apex shape, nodule shape, fruit base shape, and fruit tip shape. The Yunan variety has qualitative advantages in the form of leaf base shape. The Sultan variety has qualitative advantages in the parameters of fruit shape and fruit serration.
