Understanding complex factors controlling yield is very crucial to the improvement of plant performance. Cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) is an important nut crop of social and economic importance for India. The low productivity of raw cashew nut is the major constraint. As detailed morpho- physiological characterization is one of the key steps for yield improvement, this study was carried out to analyze genotypic variation in yield and yield components of fifteen cashew accessions. Here, we relate leaf morphological traits of fifteen cashew varieties to their nut yield and other yield components. Significant differences in leaf morphological and physiological traits observed among cashew accessions. | Nội dung Text Leaf morphological and physiological traits and their significance in yield improvement of fifteen cashew varieties in west coast region of Karnataka India
