Studies on Combining Ability in Bitter Gourd (Momordica charantia L.)

Combining ability study in eight bitter gourd lines, to identify suitable parents and crosses for further exploitation, indicated that the lines MC 13 (L1) and Panruti Local (L2) were good general combiners for yield per vine. The lines Ayakudi Local (L3) and Mithipagal (L5) recorded negative genera...
