Abstract

Clitoria crops, commonly known as blue ternate and blue peas, have many colors ranging from blue, violet and white, and some varieties have double-layered petals while others are single-layered.  This study was conducted to evaluate varietal differences of five species of Clitoria, and was carried out in Randomized Complete Block Design.  This was conducted at USM, Kabacan, Cotabato from July 2019 to June 2020. Results of the study revealed significant differences in terms of the nutritive values of the Clitoria flowers and the morphological traits of the crop.  In terms of the flower yield, highest yielding variety was the Clitoria with double-layered petals.  More pod and seed production was generally attained by white-colored Clitoria variety which was single-layered.   In terms of the diversity analysis of the five varieties, using all available plant traits, the five Clitoria varieties were grouped into three clusters with cophenetic value of 0.76. Results of the study implied varietal differences on the five species of Clitoria evaluated.  Significant differences on the flower, seed and pod yield were highly noted between Clitoria with double- and single-layered petals.  A double-layered variety is recommended for the purpose of flower production, while a single-layered variety, most especially the white-colored Clitoria is more preferred for pod and seed production.
