GENETIC DIVERGENCE IN KENAF
Main Article Content
Abstract
Genetic divergence using 0 2 statistic of 51 kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) genotypes of different ecogeographic origins revealed considerable diversity and were grouped into eight dusters, indicating that geographical isolation may not be the only fador causing genetic diversity. Days to 50% flowering, node No.lplant, plant height. and fibre length were the most potential traits contributing to the total genetic divergence. Clusters 111 and IV were important as base material in hybridization programme aimed at high fibre yield, tall plants with greater fibre length, and short duration progenies.
