Correlation and Path Analysis on the Morphological Index and Output of the Fresh Seedy Lotus
The correlation and path analysis on morphological index and output of the fresh seedy lotus which were picked from Nansihu Lake were conducted,and the results indicated that the relativity of morphological index and output as in turn: weight of lotus (0.953 6),diameter of the lotus(0.810 3) .diameter of the lotus seed(0.761 4),weight of lotus seed(0.713 1),weight of lotus seed peel (0.677 8) .maturity (0.638 3) .height of lotus seed (0.565 1),number of locus seeds (0.411 2).The importance of the direct factors to the output were in turn:number of hollow(-0.456 4) .weight of lotus seed(0.450 1),weight of lotus(0.434 2),number of locus seeds(0.266 5) .diameter of the lotus(-0.093 7),diameter of the lotus seed(0.076 5) .maturity (0.041 4),and so on. Also,it indicated that the morphological indices had the obvious restricted relations.Finally,the strategy and the technology of the high production of seedy lotus were suggested.
