Abstract
Fourteen cultivars of C. longa were analysed to determine whether correlations exist between rhizome characteristics and yield. It was shown that the girth and weight of daughter rhizomes were correlated with rhizome yield. It is concluded that the girth and weight of daughter rhizomes are important characteristics in the selection of high yielding plants.
