YIELD AND QUALITY COMPARISON OF PROMISING VARIETIES OF AUTUMN SOWN SUGARCANE
Abstract
A field experiment with 18 sugarcane promising varieties was conducted to compare their yield and quality in autumn season during 2003-2005. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with 3 repeats having net plot size of 4 x 9.6 m2 . The variety CPF-243 gave the maximum yield of 108.17 t ha-1 which was statistically at par with HSF-242 and S96-SP-1215 with yield of 107.23 and 107.17 t/ha, respectively as against standard variety HSF-240 giving cane yield of 99.83 t/ha. These varieties also produced higher CCS t/ha of 13.61, 13.56 and 12.38 t/ha, respectively as against standard variety HSF240 with 11.58 t ha-1.
