mutants, two released varieties and one local cultivar was conducted at four locations in
four districts of Kerala, namely, Palakkad, Malappuram, Thrissur and Ernakulam
during Khariff, 2001.
The selected mutants showed significant differences for many of the economic
traits over locations. For increasing the tuber yield in Co le us, selection should be based
on low tuber number, low starch content and high protein content. Further the tubers
should be white coloured, delicious, non-groovy and smooth. The study revealed that
the ideal plant architecture in Coleus should have optimum tuber number, white
coloured delicious non-groovy tubers with optimum starch and protein content, good
texture and medium flavour.
The stability analysis identified mutants '641' and '352' as the most stable high
yielding well adapted genotype for many of the economic traits over locations.
