Abstract

Among the tropical tuber crops, cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) deserves special attention as regards to its higher biological efficiency in terms of dry matter production which incidentally implies to the higher amount of nutrient extraction from the soil resulting in better response to the application of manures and fertilizers. Among the major nutrients, Potassium (K) is considered as the key nutrient for cassava owing to its influence both in tuber yield and tuber quality. The above facts as well as the availability of sufficient cassava genotypes in the germplasm collection of ICAR-CTCRI made us to initiate research work to screen cassava germplasm including the pre breeding lines. The objective being to identify K efficient genotypes which can yield well under limited availability of K so that the external application of K can be reduced. This paper describes the wide variation noticed during the pre evaluation of 83 elite genotypes which was done as a prelude in the screening and identification of K efficient genotypes. The characters studied were tuber yield, tuber characters, plant dry matter percentage, plant K content, tuber quality (starch, cyanogenic glucosides) attributes, physiological efficiency and plant biometric characters. The variation among the genotypes for the above traits was assessed by making some yardstick for classification which in turn helped in determining the percent distribution of genotypes in each category. The variation among the genotypes were further affirmed through principal component analysis, wherein the first five components explained more than 77% of variability and the cluster analysis performed grouped these genotypes into five clusters. The biplot showed the traits which are closely linked to the genotypes. The dendrogram constructed indicated similar genotypes to that of the clusters to the extent of more than 50% revealing the association of members with similar traits in clusters and dendrograms. The study helped in establishing the drastic variation among the genotypes along with identification of six genotypes viz., Aniyoor, 7 Sahya (2), 7 III E3-5, W-19, CR 43-8, 6-6 for further detailed experimentation to identify K efficient genotypes.
