The 62 jackfruit selections studied for chips purpose from
the hilly (34 types) and coastal (28 types) zones of
Karnataka in India were grouped into 6 clusters using
Toucher’s values method employed on the Mahalanobis’s
generalized distance (D²) values. Cluster A accounted for
45 selections followed by cluster B (10 selections) and
cluster C (4 selections), whereas cluster D, E and F were
solitary having single selection each. Inter cluster distance
was maximum between cluster E and F (35.842) followed
by cluster A and E (28.281) and was minimum between
cluster C and D (9.362). The present study reveals that
high chips yielding types have also recorded high dry
matter content indicating a direct relationship between
these characters. The relative contribution of characters
clearly indicated that chips recovery contributed maximum
for divergence (62.61%) followed by TSS (15.34%) and
hence the selection of jackfruits for chips purpose should
deem these characters.
