Variability, heritability and genetic advance for cane yield, its component traits and juice quality parameters over the environment
Author(s): Prashant P Patil, Sunil S Patil and DU Patel
Abstract: Analysis of variance in pooled over environments revealed significant genotypic differences for all the sixteen characters under study indicating presence of wide range of variation in the material for all the characters. The genotypic coefficient of variation was highest for germination % at 45 days, shoots at 240 days, tillers at 120 days, stalk height at 360 days and internodes/stalk at 360 days. High heritability coupled with high to moderate genetic advance was observed for germination % at 45 days, tillers at 120 days, shoots at 240 days, stalk diameter at 360 days, stalk height at 360 days, internodes/stalk at 360 days, NMC at harvest, cane yield and CCS (t/ha). Results indicated that these characters were governed by additive gene action so phenotypic selection for such traits may be useful in choice of best genotype.
