Abstract:
The cause and effect relationship of cane and sugar yield components studied in
the plant crop performance of 48 hybrid varieties revealed that circumference of cane, number
of millable canes per plot and length of cane had high direct contributions for cane yield.
Pol percentage at 12th month had maximum direct effect on CCS percentage. Among the
two components contributing to sugar yield, cane yield had maximum contribution rather
than CCS percentage, thereby suggesting that increasing the cane yield through its
components like circumference of cane, number of millable canes or length of cane, the sugar
yield can also be increased, through correlated response.
