Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at two location of Ilishaghat, Sadar Upazilla in Vola district to select the suitable varieties for chewing in Souther region. At Ilishaghat in both locations the highest tiller population (97.1 and 102.6 &103ha-1) and millable cane (82.4 and 87.1 & 103ha-1 ) were obtained in Madhumala followed by BSRI Akh 41 and Misrimala but there is no significant difference. In respect of cane yield Madhumala scored the highest (90.7 t ha-1 and 89.7 t ha-1) among the four varieties which was followed by Misrimala and BSRI Akh 41. Co 208 showed significantly lower (89.8 t ha-1 & 70.3 t ha-1) yield compared to other varieties. Brix% of cane was also different among the varieties and Misrimala showed highest (20.5 and 20.8) Brix% followed by BSRI Akh 41 and Madhumala. The parameter of salinity level was 2.0-7.0 ds/m. Highest salinity was found in the month of April (6-7 ds/m) and lowest in January (2 ds/m). Therefore it may be concluded that Madhumala performed better as yield among the studied varieties. It also may be mentioned that no adverse effect was found on yield and taste of juice in cane due to salinity.

Keywords: Sugarcane, Saline belt and varieties

Location: Ilishaghat and Sadar upazilla, vola

Start Date: 01-12-2012

End Date: 30-12-2012

Program Area: Variety and Species

Non-commodity: Performance

Objectives:

1. To select the suitable varieties for chewing in Southern region. 2. finding out the possibility of chewing cane cultivation in saline belt.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at two location of Ilishaghat, Sadar Upazilla in Vola district during 2010-2011 cropping season. Four varieties were tested in farmers field with three replication in RCB design. The varieties were BSRI Akh 41 (Amrita), Madhumala, Misrimala and Co 208. Two eyed settlings of each variety were raised in soil bed in time and transplanting of settlings was done in 11 January, 2012. Intercultural operations were done as and when necessary. Crop was harvested on 30 December, 2012.
