Abstract: Twelve sugarcane clones were used in this study. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among genotypes for all the plant characters. Highest cane yield (144 t/ha) was recorded in clone NIA82-1026P5 and highest Pol % (20.82) and CCS % (16.45) were observed in CP84-1198. Correlation coefficient results indicated that cane yield was positively correlated with cane girth, weight per stool, sugar yield, tiller numbers and purity % whereas Pol % and CCS % showed negative correlation with cane yield. Sugar yield showed non significant correlation with cane girth.
