Abstract

Thirty one genotypes of taro (Colocasia esculenta L.) were studied for genetic divergence for eight characters. The genotypes were grouped into eleven clusters. The genotypes IC87168( M), IC-87042(M) and IC-89548(A) were quite different and formed separate cluster IX, Xand XI, respectively. The genotypes in clusters XI, Xand XIII exhibited highest yield per plant and higher values for plant height, weight of mother cormels and number of suckers per plant. These genotypes can be utilized in breeding programmes.
