| Abstract | ||
| Seeds produced via open pollination for the examined three sugarcane varieties (GT54-9, G 85-37 and F 153) were grown at the field of Sabahia Research Station, were seeded to evaluate and investigate the role of open pollination for producing hybrid plants. Comparison between strains and mother plants were performed through measuring six morphological and technological characters. Eight, ten and six clones were produced from open pollination between GT54-9 X ? , G 85-37 X ? and F 153 X? respectively. The eight strains which were produced from GT54-9 X ? were categorized into three groups one each represented the increased or deceased or equal average means of the studied characters as compared to their mother plant. Meanwhile, G 85-37 X ? strains where scheduled in two groups, which represented the increased or decreased average means from their mother plant. It’s the first time in Egypt to produce open hybrids from GT-54-9 which recorded here. All unselected strains of hybrids were eliminated visually depending on their poor characters by comparing with mother plants. | ||
