Other claims from this paper (15)
- Observation Seventeen of 78 character combinations had significant correlations.
- Association Tuber yield was positively associated with average tuber weight.
- Association Tuber yield was positively associated with total tuber dry matter per plant.
- Association Average tuber weight was negatively associated with number of tubers per plant.
- Association Average tuber weight was negatively associated with most quality characters.
- Observation Selection based on tuber yield itself was judged likely superior to selection based on yield components.
- Method / resource An index combining yield components and yield was most efficient.
- Association Tuber dry matter percentage was positively associated with alcohol-insoluble solids percentage.
- Association Tuber dry matter percentage was negatively associated with protein percentage in tuber dry matter.
- Association Fresh-tuber starch percentage was positively associated with starch percentage in tuber dry matter.
- Association Starch percentage in alcohol-insoluble solids was positively associated with starch percentage in tuber dry matter.
- Association Fresh-tuber protein percentage was positively associated with protein percentage in tuber dry matter.
- Recommendation The authors recommend breaking the negative linkage between two yield components to raise tuber yield.
- Recommendation Selecting for high tuber yield can increase total tuber dry matter per plant.
- Recommendation Selection for yield based on many tubers was proposed to improve both quality and yield.
