Abstract


A field experiment was planned with the objective to evaluate performance of ten sugarcane clones namely S2002US-234, S2002US-312, S2002US-447, S2002US-452, S2002US-463, S2002US-628, S2002US-635, S2002US-747, SPF-213 (standard) and HSF-240 (standard) under semi arid climatic conditions of Faisalabad. Statistically significant results showed that clone S2002US-312 crossed all its counter parts, including standards, by producing maximum cane yield (101.77 t/ha), CCS (13.84%) and sugar yield (14.08 t/ha). The remaining clones recorded significant and variable results with respect to germination, tillering, number of millable canes, cane yield and sugar yield.
