Abstract

A path coefficient method of analysis was used to study the interaction of seven pertinent plant characters on the lodging resistance of two biparental sugarcane populations. POJ 2822 x Phil 62-13 and POJ 2022 x EK-28. The path coefficients measured the direct and indirect effects of each trait on the lodging resistance factor, cLr.

Among the progenies, of the two populations, the most important character which negatively influenced the cLr estimates was plant height. This was followed by stalk length. Stalk diameter, on the other hand, exerted positive influence on lodging resistance. The opposite effects of plant height and stalk diameter on lodging resistance were due to the negative correlation which existed between the two traits.
