Correlation studies in interspecific and intergenetic hybrids of sugarcane ( Saccharum officinarum L.)

Abstract

Correlation studies among six characters were studied in eighteen hybrids along with its nine parents (six lines and three testers). The study revealed that cane yield per plot showed significant positive correlation with cane thickness and single cane weight. Hence emphasis should be given while selection on cane thickness and single cane weight to increase cane yield in sugarcane.
