VEMANNA et al<br />

total biomass, fresh stalk yield, brix per cent and<br />

juice yield which exhibited maximum relative<br />

efficiency, same could be considered for selection<br />

schemes. Bhat and Shariff (1994) in finger millet,<br />

Patil et al. (1997) in sunflower and Khulbe and Pant<br />

(1999) in mustard obtained similar results <strong>of</strong><br />

increased efficiency through indirect selection using<br />

different combination <strong>of</strong> characters excluding yield<br />

in selection index. Hence, it can be inferred that the<br />

maximum gain using indirect selection schemes<br />

could be achieved using highly correlated characters<br />

like total biomass, fresh stalk yield, brix per cent and<br />

juice yield, which is further confirmed by path coefficient<br />

as well as discriminant function analysis.<br />
