Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Cane yield and juice quality traits are essential and important in release of sugarcane variety for commercial cultivation. Twenty elite sugarcane clones along with two popular standards (Co 86032 and PI 1110) were evaluated at Sakthi sugars, Sivaganga, in two plant crops and one ratoon crop for 2 years to identify a variety suitable for this location. Cane yield (t/ha), commercial cane sugar (CCS) yield (t/ha), CCS % at harvest, juice sucrose %, juice brix %, juice purity %, single cane weight (kg), stalk height (cm) and stalk diameter (cm) at harvest were considered for the study. Within environment analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated significant differences among genotypes for almost all the traits in all three environments (two plant and one ratoon crops). Combined ANOVA results displayed non-significant genotype environment interaction for all the traits except height and diameter. Cane yield and sugar yield were significant higher in II (second) plant crop compared to I (first) plant and ratoon crops, whereas no significance was observed for other traits. Heritability estimates were higher for juice quality traits as compared to cane traits. Single cane weight recorded highest estimates for repeatability and heritability of means over harvests. Best linear unbiased predictions were estimated for all the traits through restricted maximum likelihood method for individual crops and pooled data. The clone Co 09004 recorded high estimates for quality traits, and clone Co 11015 was found to be superior for both yield and quality traits.
