Note. LBL = leaf blade length, LBW = leaf blade width, FLW = fresh leaf weight, DLW = dried leaf weight, NT = number of tillers, MC = millable cane, BS = bud size, chlorophyll, CD = cane diameter, NI = number of internodes, IL = internode length, PH = plant height, SL = stalk length, brix%, and ICW = individual cane weight.
