Yield-based selection indices for drought tolerance evaluation in selected bottle gourd [Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standl.] landraces

Bottle gourd is an important crop in arid and semi-arid tropics where recurrent drought is the major constraint to crop production. Identification of drought-tolerant bottle gourd genotypes is fundamental to enhance productivity and for effective breeding and conservation. The objective of this stud...
