PERFORMANCE OF PROMISING SUGARCANE CLONE FOR YIELD AND QUALITY TRAITS IN DIFFERENT ECOLOGICAL ZONES OF SINDH IMTIAZ AHMED KHAN, ABDULLAH KHATRI, MUHAMMAD AQUIL SIDDIQUI, GHULAM SHAH NIZAMANI AND SABOOHI RAZA
Abstract: A new sugarcane clone AEC86-347, was
obtained from seed (fuzz), of a cross combination of NCo 310 x CP57-614,
imported from ARS, USDA, Canal Point, Florida, USA. The genotype was
evaluated for the stability of its performance for economic characters
at six different locations in the Province of Sindh for the two
consecutive years. Significant (P£0.01)
differences were observed in genotypes and locations x genotypes
interactions for the three traits i.e., cane yield, commercial cane
sugar and sugar yield. This phenomenon indicates the presence of genetic
variability amongst the genotypes and their differential response to
varying environments. High mean performance of AEC86-347 with ‘b’ values
more than 1.00 for cane yield, sugar yield and CCS (%) indicated its
potential to take advantage of favourable environmental conditions for
yield under different locations.
