Abstract
The present investigation was carried out to study the association of quality characters with cane and commercial cane sugar yields in sugarcane (Saccharum spp. complex). It was found that cane yield had nonsignificant negative correlations with juice brix juice sucrose juice purity and extraction percents, whereas its association with commercial cane sugar yield was highly significant positive. Commercial cane sugar yield had nonsignificant positive correlations with juice brix, juice sucrose, juice purity and commercial cane sugar percents. Path coefficient analysis revealed maximum direct effects of commercial cane sugar per cent and juice sucrose per cent on cane and commercial cane sugar yields. It is suggested that quality characters should also be taken into consideration in clonal selection programme for evolving improved sugarcane genotypes.
