Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted with four promising clones (1-150/82, Isd- 16(M), 1-197/83 and 1-226/83) and four newly released varieties (lsd-18, Isd- 19, Isd-20 and Isd-21) of sugarcane against standard Isd 16 and LJC at Panchagarh Sugar Mills farm to see their performance at Old Himalayan Piedmont plain soils. The clone 1-150/82 and the variety Isd-19 were found to produce significantly higher percentage of germination over the standard varieties. Tillering, millable cane and yield in all varieties and clones, except 1- 226/83, did not show any significant difference compared to standard varieties. Significant variation was observed in cane height and diameter. However, the variety Isd-19 and the clone 1-150/82 produced considerable higher tonnage than standard varieties. Hence, variety Isd-19 and the clone 1- 150/82 (now Isd 24) may be recommended for cultivation at Old Himalayan Piedmont plain soils.

Keywords: Promising,Varieties of sugarcane,Himalayan,Soils

Location: Panchagarh Sugar Mills farm

Start Date: 00-12-1991

End Date:

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Sugarcane

Objectives:

To screen sugarcane varieties suitable for this soil type for sustainable sugarcane production and ensured supply to sugar industries as well as 'gur makers

Methodology:

An experiment was conducted at Panchagarh Sugar Mills farm with four newly released varieties (lsd-18, Isd-19, Isd-20 and Isd-21) and four promising clones (1-150/82. 1-197/83, 1-226/83 and Isd-16 (M) as experimental materials. Commercial varieties Isd 16 and LJC were used as standard. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications, and canes were planted on first week of December, 1991. Plot size was 6mx 10m where row to row distance was maintained one meter. Sugarcane setts were planted following conventional method and recommended doses of fertilizers were applied. Normal cultural practices were done. The canes were harvested on following December, 1992 and data were recorded on germination, tillering, millable cane, height, diameter and cane yield. The average values of all parameters were statistically analyzed to compare different clones/ varieties under observation.

Achievement/Findings:

The clone 1-150/82 and the variety Isd-19 were found to produce significantly higher percentage of germination over the standard varieties.
