Abstract

A complete randomized block experiment with three replications was carried out in El-Sabahia Agricultural Research Station at Alexandria to evaluate some American wild cane varieties during 2005/2006 season. The wild cane varieties were Hinds Special, S.E.S.90, Saccharum spontaneum and U.S.57-118-4. Ten stalks were chopped at random from each plot after topping at the end of flowering to study the relationship between stalk length and width; tillers number; internodes length, number; leaf length, width, number and total soluble solids.
The studied traits differed with the variation of varieties. The correlations between the studied criteria were positive, significant and highly significant in some traits i.e. and were not significant in other traits i.e. However, the correlations between any two of the four varieties were positive, significant and highly significant in the most studied characters.
