Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A field experiment was conducted at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Instituted, Dacca, to see the germination and tillering habit of six selected varieties of Sugarcane. The varieties selected were ISD.1/53, 150.2/54, ISD.5155, B. O. 14, Co. 527 and Co. 633. There were distinct varietal differences in respect of germination capacity and tillering habit. Variety ISD.1/53 gave significantly the highest germination followed by the varieties, Co.527, ISD.2/54, B. O. 14, ISD.5155 and Co. 633. In respect of tiller production on the variety ISO-5/55 gave the highest number of tillers per mother shoot followed by IS 0.2/54, Co. 527, ISO:1/53, Co. 633 and B. O. 14. From the results, it may be concluded that the variety ISD.5/55 tended to produce the maximum number of millable canes followed by ISD.1/53, ISD.2/54, Co. 527, B. O. 14 and Co. 633.

Commodity: Sugarcane

Objectives:

To see the germination and tillering habit of six selected varieties of sugarcane..

Methodology:

The data on the following observations were collected and statically analyzed. 1. Germination count on the 15^th, 25^th 35^th and 45^thday of planting. 18. Tillering count on the 50^th, 60^th 70^th. 80^th and 90^th day of planting. 19. Tillering habit" as found on the above mentioned dates of tillering count. For tillering habit, the number of tillers found were counted from ten randomly selected mother shoots per unit plot. For a detailed study of tillering habits the classification based on Loh and Tseng's method (1956) was followed limo grouped the tillering habit, into the following categories. a) Unshaped tillering b) Bowl-shapped tillering. c) Fan-shapped tillering. d) Dish-shapped tillering. The performances of the varieties under study with respect to germination and tillering were represented by the response equation.

Variety ISD.1/53 gave significantly the highest germination followed by the varieties, Co.527, ISD.2/54, B. O. 14, ISD.5155 and Co. 633. In respect of tiller production on the variety ISO-5/55 gave the highest number of tillers per mother shoot followed by IS 0.2/54, Co. 527, ISO:1/53, Co. 633 and B. O. 14. From the results, it may be concluded that the variety ISD.5/55 tended to produce the maximum number of millable canes followed by ISD.1/53, ISD.2/54, Co. 527, B. O. 14 and Co. 633.
