Morphological:?Improved enset variety. Pseudostem circumference 0.51 m (significantly higher than Yambule, comparable to Endale). Leaf number 4.94 (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 5.74 kg (highest), Dry root weight 700 g (highest), Dry corm weight 739 g. 23L pot: Fresh root weight 1.64 kg, Dry root weight 160 g, Dry corm weight 140 g. 7L pot: Fresh root weight 0.53 kg, Dry root weight 62 g, Dry corm weight 37 g.?Key Finding:?Shows superior root and corm development in large pots; released as improved cultivar. |
