Yield performance and trait correlation of BARI released sweet potato varieties studied under several districts of Bangladesh

Multi trait stability indexing and trait correlation from a dataset of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.)

“…The management practices for sweet potato were done following a standard procedure of Alam et al. [3] . The harvesting took place after 130 days after vine planting, wherein each genotype consisted of 10 plants.…”

“…In order to conduct a thorough quality analysis, the laboratory of Postharvest Technology Division at BARI collected and examined the storage roots of each genotype, each weighing 500 g. The following data was gathered in accordance with the methodology outlined by Alam et al. [3] : mean vine length (cm) (VL), storage root length (cm) (ARL), storage root diameter (cm) (ARD), average storage roots per plant (ARN), average storage roots weight per plant (kg) (ARW), marketable storage root number per plant (MRN), marketable storage root yield (t/ha) (MRY), non-marketable storage root yield (t/ha) (NMRW) and dry matter content (%) (DW).…”

Ideotype based genotype selection in a multivariate dataset of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.)

“…Storage roots weighing 500 g each were collected from each genotype and analyzed at the Laboratory of Postharvest Technology Division, BARI. Standard management practices for sweet potato, as outlined by Alam et al, were followed [ 3 ]. Instructions for collecting data on various traits of sweet potatoes are outlined below.…”

“…Cultivated near rivers and riverine islands, sweet potatoes not only provide a solution to water scarcity but also offer a rich source of beta-carotene, vitamin C, flavonoids, and phenolic acids, with a low glycemic index, contributing to improved nutritional outcomes [ 2 ]. The success of sweet potato production depends on various factors such as genotypes and environments, as emphasized in recent research [ [3] , [4] , [5] ]. To address these complexities, the adoption of the plant ideotype concept in selecting genotypes has emerged as a suitable solution.…”
