Abstract
Visando quantificar os efeitos diretos e indiretos de componentes de produção sobre as variáveis tonelada de cana por hectare (TCH) e massa média de colmos (MMC) foram realizadas análises de trilha fenotípicas e genotípicas. Dezessete famílias híbridas foram avaliadas no delineamento experimental em blocos casualizados com quatro repetições, no Centro de Pesquisa e Melhoramento da Cana-de-Açúcar (CECA), da Universidade Federal de Viçosa, com o plantio realizado em janeiro de 2000. Foram definidas como componentes de produção as variáveis: altura de colmos (AC), diâmetro de colmos (DC) e número de colmos (NC). As variáveis MMC e NC podem ser utilizadas na seleção indireta de famílias mais produtivas, uma vez que tiveram efeitos diretos positivos e elevados sobre TCH. Apesar de AC e DC estarem altamente correlacionadas com MMC, apenas DC mostrou elevado efeito genético direto sobre MMC, sendo uma variável importante a ser considerada na seleção indireta de famílias com maior massa média de colmos.
Phenotypic and genetic path analyses were carried out in order to quantify direct and indirect effects of production components on the variable ton of stalks per hectare (TSH) and mean stalk weight (MSW). Seventeen hybrid families were evaluated on a randomized complete block design with four replicates, at the Centro de Pesquisa e Melhoramento da Cana-de-Açúcar - CECA of the Universidade Federal de Viçosa, Minas Gerais State. Planting was carried out in January 2000. The following variables were defined as production components: stalk height (SH), stalk diameter (SD) and stalk number (SN). The results indicated that the variables MSW and SN can be used for indirect selection of high yielding families, since they showed positive and high direct effects on TSH. Despite SH and SD showed high correlation with MSW, only SD showed high direct genetic effect on MSW, demonstrating the importance of this variable for indirect selection of families with higher mean stalk weight.
