Correlation and path analysis of three elite clones of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)

Abstract Waxy cassava having high amylopectin content could contribute and increase genetic background. Unfortunately, the parameter information of three elite clones as Waxy, UJ-5, BW-1 is still limited. Consequently, objective this study was to evaluate leaf weight yield by correlation path analysis clones. This conducted on Integrated Field Lab Lampung from December 2019 October 2020. Treatment arranged a single factor in RCBD with two replications. There were genotype clones, UJ-5 (originally Kasetsart), Huay Bong-60). Genetics parameters analysed using Minitab programs (Version 17). Variables observed plant height (PH), total number (TLN), tuber (TN), fresh (TFW), dry (TDW), attached (ALDW), stem (SDW), petiole (PDW), starch (SW), harvest index (HI). These variables measured at 10 months after planting (MAP) one tree. The results showed that has direct effect 1.16 coefficient 0.58. It recommended select criterion for yielding based weight.
