Popis:	Fourteen intraspecific hybrids ofS.officinarum selected for better stalk thickness and soft rind were evaluated for yield and quality attributes. Selection for stalk thickness has resulted in low variability for this character. Stalk thickness was not correlated with stalk and sugar yield. Stalk height had a very high genotypic correlation with stalk and sugar yield and was the most important yield component. Path analysis showed stalk height to have positive indirect effects on stalk yield through both NMC and stalk thickness. Selection for stalk height and NMC in this population which had been already selected for stalk thickness, might improve stalk and sugar yield. Quality traits showed limited variability and were not significantly correlated with sugar yield.
