Abstract/ Executive Summary:

There was significant difference in tiller, millable cane, cane yield and pol % cane. In case of tiller production, the highest tillers (153.90 × 103 ha-1) were found in bag settlings followed by two budded bed settlings (144.30 × 103 ha-1) and the lowest (56.81 × 103 ha-1) was recorded from bud chip sett. The maximum number of millable canes were observed in bag settlings(78.34 × 103 ha-1) followed by rayungun two budded slip (77.50 × 103 ha-1) and the lowest (44.38 × 103 ha-1) was from the bud chip sett. The highest cane yield (74.10 t ha-1) and (74.09 t ha-1) were obtained from bag settlings and rayungun two budded slip followed by pre-germinated two budded sett and three budded sett and the lowest was recorded from the bud chip sett. The highest pol % cane (14.63 %) was found in gunny bag settlings and the lowest (12.77 %) was recorded from single budded bed settling. The overall result suggested that for spaced transplanting, bag settling and rayungun two budded slip were performed better and these tecnologies might be used as planting materials. Three budded sett and pre-germinated single budded sett are also suitable for conventional planting.

Keywords: Sugarcane, Planting materials

Location: BSRI Farm and RSRS (Thakurgaon)

Start Date: 01-12-2007

End Date: 07-12-2008

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Non-commodity: Performance

Objectives:

i) To develop an economic source of planting materials compare to the existing ones. ii) To find out the highest production potential of planting materials from different source of setts/settlings. iii) To reduce the quantity of seed cane for commercial cultivation. iv) To use quality seed materials for increasing sugarcane production.

Methodology:

Treatments: T1 : Whole cane stalk T9 : Rayungun single slip T2 : 3 budded sett T10 : Rayungun two budded slip T3 : Two budded sett T11 : Stalkless settling T4 : Single budded sett T12 : Bud chip settling T5 : Bud chip sett T13 : Gunny bag settling T6 : Bag settling T14 : Pre-germinated single budded sett T7 : Single budded bed settling T15 : Pre-germinated two budded sett T8 : Two budded bed settling T16 : Bud chip bag settling Plot size : 12m x 4m Design : RCB Replications : 3 Cane Variety : Isd 36 Plant spacing : For T3-T16 treatment 30cm plant to plant Gross area : 0.24 ha Fertilizer : As per recommendation Irrigation and cultural practices : As and when required Data to be collected: 1. Germination/Establishment ( %) of sett/settlings. 2. Tiller population at 90. 120, 150 and 180 DAT. 3. Millable cane stalks at harvest. 4. Unit stalk weight, height, girth & internodes 5. Cane yield at harvest. 6. Pol % cane at harvest

Achievement/Findings:

The overall result suggested that for spaced transplanting, bag settling and raying two budded slip were performed better and these technologies might be used as planting materials. Three budded sett and pre-germinated single budded sett are also suitable for conventional planting.
