 ABSTRACT

A study was conducted with sixteen genotypes received from Sugarcane Research Institute, D.R.P.C.A.U., Pusa, Samastipur, Bihar. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with three replications during spring season 2016 in paddy block, to evaluate the midlate sugarcane clones for waterlogging tolerance. Observations on a total of twenty-five quantitative and qualitative characters were recorded. The result of present study clearly indicated that highest positive direct effect on cane yield was exerted by pol percent at 12 months stage, sugar yield, brix percentage at 10 months stage, single cane weight and purity percentage at 10 months stage at phenotypic level, hence these traits can be used for clonal selection programme on sugarcane for sub-tropical regions.

Key words: Sugarcane, Phenotypic level, Genotypes, Yield
