<b>Canonical correlations of agro-industrial characteristics in sugarcane</b> - DOI: 10.4025/actasciagron.v29i3.279

Abstract

The analysis of canonical correlations measures the existence and the intensity of the association between two groups of variables or characters of importance. This study aimed to estimate the intensity in the association between the agronomic and industrial characters in sugarcane. The analysis of canonic correlations allowed to conclude that clones with bigger number of stalks per parcel, greater number of stalks per stool tend to provide an increase in the TCH production. Another conclusion was that shorter clones with larger diameter, greater number of stalks per stool and plants, are determinant in increasing TCH, brix and pol% characteristics.
