Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of planting techniques on yield contributing characters of sugarcane variety Amrita at Sreepur, Gazipur, Bangladesh. The planting techniques viz. STP (polybag settlin gs), bud chips (polybag settlings), 'rayungun ' (1-eyed and 2-eyed slip), STP soil bed (2-eyed and 1-eyed), direct spaced plantation (OSP 2-eyed) and hipping (2-eyed) were evaluated in this study. The highest number of tillers, millable canes and cane yield were obtained from STP polybag settlings followed by budchips polybag settlings and STP soil bed settlings. The highest Brix percent was obtained from STP polybag settlings and Direct Spaced Plantation (DSP).

End Date: 15-03-2001

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Sugarcane

Objectives:

To find out the effect of planting technique s on yield contributing characters of sugarcane variety Amrita .

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted during the 2000-2001 planting season at Sreepur, Gazipur under non mill zone area to test eight planting techniques. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with four replications. Eight planting techniques were: 1. Spaced Transplanting of polybag settlings (STP pbs), 2. Bud chips polybag settlings (pbs), 3. Rayungun (2-eyed slip), 4. Rayungun (1-eyed slip), 2. Spaced Transplanting of soil bed (STP 2-eyed), 3. Spaced Transplanting of soil bed (STP 1-eyed), 7. Direct Spaced Transplanting (DSP 2-eycd), 8. Hipping (2-eyed). The row to row and plant to plant distance was 100 cm and 50 cm, respectively under the plot size or 8m x 6m. Weeding, mulching, irrigation etc as per requirement and recommended doses of fertilizers viz. Urea 260 kg, TSP 200 kg, MoP 200 kg, Zypsum 165 kg and ZnS0₄ 6 kg were applied per hectare. Data were collected on seedling mortality, number of tillers, number of millable canes, yield of cane and brix and anal?yzed using a statistical package, MSTAT-C.

Achievement/Findings:

STP (pbs) performed best giving least settlings mortality, highest number of tillers, and cane yield following Bud chips (pbs) and STP soil bed (2-eyed), respectively. This finding is compares well with the findings of Khan et.al. (1998) who found polybag settlings as superior to all the planting material s under both the irrigated and rain fcd conditions. STP (pbs) produced higher number of tillers and differed significantly from rayungan (!-eyed slip), DSP and Hipping techniques. Among the techniques, hipping showed the highest percent mortality and consequently produced significantly lower number of millable cane and differed from other techniques. The highest cane yield (126.22 t ha^-1) was obtained from STP polybag settlings followed by budchips polybag settlings (118.13 t ha^-1) and STP soil bed settlings (115.97 t ha^-1). Though there was no significant difference between Spaced transplanting (STP polybag settlings) and Bud Chips (polybag settlings) but Spaced transplanting (STP polybag settlings) technique gave higher yield (126.22 t ha^-1). Simi liar result was reported by Basher et al. (1993). ln case of Brix %, STP (pbs) and DSP gave significantly higher percentage of Brix than that of other techniques .
