High-yielding watermelon genotypes identified through genetic variability and correlation analysis.
The study looked at different watermelon varieties to see how they vary in traits related to yield. They found that some traits like seed weight and fruit size are highly heritable and can be improved through breeding. The number of fruits per plant and fruit weight were found to have a direct positive impact on yield. This means that selecting watermelon varieties based on these traits can help increase their yield.
