Abstract


The yield performance of 10 promising genotypes of the sugarcane was compared for five consecutive years from 2017-18 to 2021-22, at the research station of agriculture Serai Naurang Khyber Pakhtunkhwa located under arid and semi-arid belt of climate with clay loam soil. Genotypes MS.91.CP.223, S.98.US.271, S.2003.US.127, S.2003.US.718, S.2003.US.623, MS.92.CP.979, K.B.2010, MS.91.CP.582, CP.1491 and CP.77/400 were studied during this investigation. The studies were focused on yield of cane (Mt/ha), Sugar recovery (%) and yield of sugar (Mt/ha). Genotype S.2003.US.718 showed significantly the highest cane yield (77.46 Mt ha1 ) followed by genotype MS.91.CP.582 that showed the next higher and significant cane yield (75.77Mt ha-1 ). Genotype MS.92.CP.979 acquired maximum and significant sugar recovery (12.24 %) followed by genotype S.2003.US.127 with sugar recovery of 11.88 %. The highest and significant sugar yield (8.42Mt ha-1 and 8.20 Mt ha-1 ) was got by genotypes MS.91.CP.582 and S.2003.US.718, respectively. Thus, these genotypes are very good and highly productive for the area concerned and farmers of the area can grow these successfully. These highly productive genotypes will help to elevate poverty in the area and raise living standard of the farmers’ community. Moreover, it will help to increase foreign exchange and employment.
