A non-destructive selection criterion for fibre content in jute : III. the criterion and its prospects
1Division of Genetics, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India.
Abstract:
A new prediction formula using a geometrical description of the jute plant is proposed and was found to predict the single plant fibre yield to a remarkable degree of accuracy. After an incisive evaluation of 20 component characters, plant height, basal and mid-diameters, basal and mid-sample fibre densities were selected to formulate the non-destructive prediction criterion. Its superiority was upheld when tested in five environments extending over a period of three years, 110 genetically distinct entries and 3080 single plants. The prospects of this criterion in reorienting the existing breeding technology and devising new ones are discussed.
