Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at two locations viz., Sheikhmatia and Ramnagar of Najirpur Upazilla under Pirojpur district to select the suitable varieties for gur production in saline belt. At Sheikhmatia and Ramnagar, the highest (121.3 x103ha-1 and 199.1x103ha-1) tiller population was recorded in Isd 39 but no significantly different from Isd 38 and Isd 40. Highest (110.6x103ha-1 and 105.3x103ha-1) millable cane was recorded from Isd 39 but no significant difference from Isd 40 and Isd 38. In respect of yield of cane Isd 39 scored the highest (101.3 and 100.3 t ha-1). Highest (9.0 and 8.7 t ha-1) amount of gur was produced by Isd 39. Brix percent of cane was also different among the varieties and Isd 39 showed highest (21.1 and 19.9) Brix%.The parameter of salinity level was 2.0-8.0 ds/m. Highest salinity was found in both locations in the month of April (7.5 to 8 ds/m) and lowest in December (2 ds/m). Therefore it may be concluded that the variety Isd 39 performed better as yield and gur production among the four studied varieties. It also may be mentioned that no adverse effect was found on yield and taste of gur of cane due to salinity.

Keywords: Sugarcane, saline belt and gur varieties

Location: Sheikhmatia and Ramnagar location,Najirpur Upazilla, Pirojpur

Start Date: 23-12-2011

End Date: 01-01-2012

Program Area: Postharvest and Agro-processing

Commodity: Sugarcane

Objectives:

1. Selecting the suitable varieties for gur production in saline belt. 2. Finding out the possibility of gur variety cultivation in saline belt.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at two locations viz., Sheikhmatia and Ramnagar of Najirpur Upazilla under pirojpur district during 2010-2011 cropping season. Four (4) varieties were tested in farmer's field with three replication in RCB design. The varieties were Isd 37, Isd 38, Isd 39 and Isd 40. Two eyed settlings of each variety were raised in soil bed in time and transplanting of settlings was done in 23 December, 2011. Intercultural operations were carried out as and when required. Crop was harvested in 1 December, 2012. Data on different growth parameters were collected.
