QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERS
|
|
|
Plant height (cm) |
2m (Recorded as the length from soil level
to topmost portion in the canopy centre exactly above
the main trunk). |
|
Canopy width (cm) |
- |
|
Inter-branch distanc |
Record the mean distance between 5 mature branches from
the main stem at base of the plant above 30 cm ground.
This character is recommended only when the accessions
under evolution have a common geographical origin,
otherwise the different rate induced by varying growth
condition will not represent the true genetic
variability |
