This research aims to estimate correlations between agronomic traits and yield in Pome bananas, contributing to the elaboration of models for estimation of harvest. Agronomic traits were evaluated in 98 plants of 'Dwarf Prata' and 96 'BRS Platina', considered replicates and sampled at random. Correlations between the masses of the bunch, and hands and plant height; pseudostem perimeter at ground level, at 30 cm and at 100 cm in height; number of green leaves; mass of the bunch; number of hands and fruits per bunch; mass of the hands; mass, length and diameter of the stem, and mass of the fruit of the external row from the first to the tenth hand were estimated. The highest correlation coefficient between yield and vegetative traits for 'Dwarf Prata' and 'BRS Platina', was obtained for pseudostem perimeter at ground level, indicating its greater potential to compose harvest estimation models. The correlations between the masses of the bunch and hands with yield traits, for both genotypes, showed a higher potential for predicting the number of hands and fruits. Appropriate correlation estimates are associated with the fourth and fifth bunch, for the 'Dwarf Prata' and 'BRS Platina', respectively, using the mass of the fruit of the external row.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
