The present study on sugarcane cross derivatives involving ‘Co’ clones, it was found that specific combining ability was more important than general combining ability for number of millable canes (NMC),cane thickness and HR brix. The inbred 83 R 23 (1148-13-11-2- 255) was the best general combiner for NMC, 97 R 401 (1148-S5-242-3) for cane thickness and Co 98008, Co C 671 and Co 0240,1148-S4-242-1, 148-S5-242-3 and Co 0209 for HR brix. |
