“…The data suggests that an increase in positively associated traits contributes to an increase in yield per plant. In line with this, Panigrahi et al [18], Patel et al [19], Shubha, and Singh [11 ], Lavanya et al [20], Singh et al [21], Gebreselassie and Ajema [22], Hunde et al [23], Nigussie et al [24], Sandilya et al [25], Tessema et al [26] and Tsagaye et al [27] also reported a significant correlation between tuber yield and several other traits, including tuber number, tuber weight, plant height, main stem per plant, average tuber weight, and tuber weight per plant. Consequently, improving tuber yield in potatoes is possible by employing an appropriate breeding strategy that selectively targets these positively correlated traits.…”
