Morphological:?Improved enset variety. Pseudostem circumference 0.55 m (highest among tested varieties, significantly higher than Yambule). Leaf number 5.21 (not significantly different from other varieties).?Growth Response:?Pseudostem circumference significantly affected by variety (p<0.01).?Pot Size Interaction:?34L pot: Fresh root weight 5.44 kg, Dry root weight 628 g, Dry corm weight 1267 g (highest dry corm weight among all varieties). 23L pot: Fresh root weight 1.22 kg, Dry root weight 184 g, Dry corm weight 248 g. 7L pot: Fresh root weight 0.24 kg, Dry root weight 57 g, Dry corm weight 52 g.?Key Finding:?Best performing variety for dry corm yield in large pots; shows resilience to stress conditions; higher yield of dry corm in small pots may suggest resilience to stress conditions; released as improved cultivar. |
