Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Planting time is one of the main determinant of growth rate and yield of sugarcane. Yield of sugarcane directly depends on better germination/establishment of setts/settlings. Number of millable canes and per stalk weight is directly related to duration of vegetative growth of the crop as well as planting time. Therefore, the experiment was undertaken to find out the effect of planting time on the production of sugarcane. The highest yield obtained from A1 (90.30 ton/ha) and lowest in A4 (57.69 ton/ha). Results showed that the values of all yield contributing factors and quality parameter of cane following STP method were higher compared to conventional planting. The yield of early planting better than late planting in both the planting methods contributed by the higher number of tillers and millable cane stalks.

Keywords: Sugarcane, Date

Location: BSRI Farm

Start Date: 05-10-2007

End Date: 05-03-2009

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Sugarcane

Objectives:

i) To determine the effect of planting time on growth, yield and quality of sugarcane. ii) To find out the effect of planting method on growth, yield and quality of sugarcane. iii) To find out the interaction of planting method and planting time in respect of yield and sugar content.

Methodology:

Factor A : Planting time A1 : Mid October, 2007 A2 : Mid November, 2007 A3 : Mid December, 2007 A4 : Mid January, 2008 A5 : Mid February, 2008 A6 : Mid March, 2008 Factor B: Planting method B1 : STP (Bag settlings) B2 : Conventional (Two budded setts) Sugarcane variety : Isd 37 Plot size : 8 m x 6 m Replications : 4 Design : RCB Total treatment combinations : 12 Gross area : 0.25 ha 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 7. Leaf area index & dry matter production at 120, 150 and 180 DAT 8. Economic analysis
