Discussion

Analysis identifies hybrid Subam x Punjab Komal for high yield attributes in bottle gourd, suggesting effective breeding strategies.

Hybrid Subam x Punjab Komal exhibits strong yield attributes, including fruit length and number of fruits.
General combiners like Subam and Punjab Komal show potential for enhancing yield traits across the population.
Line x tester design was employed to evaluate combining ability across 36 hybrids derived from 12 lines and 3 testers.
Effective breeding programs can leverage combining ability analysis to improve bottle gourd productivity rates.

Ivin et al. (2025) studied this question.
