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 />
