Sugarcane is a major cash crop of the world and occupies
significant position in agricultural economy of Pakistan Study on
correlation and path coefficient analysis on ratoon crop for cane
yield and yield related traits in 20 accessions of sugarcane
(Saccharum officinarum L.) was conducted in the field of the
Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, University of
Agriculture, Faisalabad, during the 2008-09.Analysis of variance
indicated highly significant differences among the accessions for
all the traits. Among the traits plant height, leaf area, dry
matter contents, bagasse weight and cane yield had the positive and
significant correlation with brix value at genotypic level.
Molecular markers are useful for assessment of variation and
phylogenetic relationships. Out of 30 fragments amplified with 15
primers used among the 10 sugarcane somaclones and a parent plant,
only 3 bands were polymorphic while rest of the 27 bands were
monomorphic. Therefore, it may be concluded from the present
results that SSR markers can be used for the identification of
somaclonal variation and the relationship between parents and
somaclones.
A field trial to compare the non-chemical weed management approach
in dry direct seeded fine rice with the chemical methods was
conducted at the Agronomic Research Farm, University of
Agriculture, Faisalabad during Kharif, 2009. The experiment was
laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four
replications. Results revealed that manual weeding recorded maximum
(99 %) reduction in total weed density and dry weight. Nominee
100SC suppressed weed density and dry weight by >75% over
control. Among non-chemical weed management strategies, soil
incorporation of sorghum residues at 8 t ha-1 accounted for 52 and
58 % reduction in above said weed attributes. Maximum yield (4.17 t
ha-1) was recorded by manual weeding. Manual weeding gave highest
net benefits (Rs. 127217 ha-1), while Nominee 100SC scored maximum
(23076 %) marginal rate of return.
Sugarcane is one of the major sugar crops of the world. In
Pakistan, it occupies a significant position in the agricultural
economy. The present investigations were carried out to examine the
genetic variability and contribution of some morphological
characters for cane yield and response of genotypes of sugar cane
toward callus formation, regeneration and screening for virus. The
results pertaining to analysis of variance elucidated highly
significant differences among the accessions for all the traits.
The tissue culture study revealed that at different treatment over
all performance of HSF-247 was better for callus induction and
genotype HSF-242 performed best at 3mg/l of 2, 4-D level. All the
investigation in the correlation study proved quite successful
because a handful increase in cane weight and plant height is
possible as they provide information regarding a suitable
combination of characters with their maximum influence on the
enhancement of cane weight and plant height. The clone will be
selected with such combinations of characters which to give maximum
improvement in their cane yield.
Study on correlation and path coefficient analysis for cane yield
and yield related traits in ten accession of sugarcane (Saccharum
officinarum L.) was conducted Analysis of variance indicated highly
significant differences among the accessions for all the traits.
The study of path analysis for yield related traits depicted that
plant height, cane thickness, leaf area, internodal distance and
brix value had the direct negative effects on yield. Study carried
out to investigate the response of different sugarcane varieties to
Callogenesis in order to analyze variation for sugarcane mosaic
virus resistance. Total 26 parent plants and 64 somaclones of
HSF-240 were selected for screening of virus through Das ELISA
test. Four parent plants out of 26 showed negative and Ten
somaclones showed positive reaction to the disease and were
declared as susceptible.Somaclones produced were also analyzed by
microsattelite molecular markers in order to analyze the vriation
between parents and somaclones produced at molecular level.It may
be concluded from the results that SSRs can be used for
identification of somaclonal variation and the relationship between
parents and somaclones.
