Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An investigation was conducted at Sugarcane Research & Training Institute (SRTI) farm to study the effects of tiller and leaf management in sugarcane yield and sugar recovery. Results showed that suppression and removal of late tillers and defoliation of 50% leaves had positive effects on yield and quality of sugarcane. Leaf and tiller management increased cane yield by 2-17 t. ha' and sugar recovery by 0.3-0.7% over untreated check, The lowest tiller suppression and actual tiller mortality as well as the highest productivity were found in treatment where tiller removed by cutting in mid May leaving 8-10 tillers per clump. Leaf and tiller management might be practiced to enhance both cane yield and sugar recovery in sugarcane production.

Location: BSRI

Start Date:

End Date:

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Sugarcane

Objectives:

To determine the effects of defoliation, late tiller cutting, tiller suppression by earthing up or tiller removal followed by tiller suppression by earthing up on ultimate millable cane production, yield and sugar recovery.

Methodology:

A experiment was conducted at Sugarcane Research & Training Institute (SRTI) farm with sugarcane variety Isd-16. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with three replications and comprised the following treatments:

T_o - Check (No tiller removal or suppression).

T₁. - Tiller suppression by earthing up in mid May.

T₂ - Tiller suppression by earthing up in mid June.

T₃ - T₁ + T₂

T₄ - Tiller removal in mid May leaving 8-10 tillers per Clump.

T₅- Tiller removal in mid June leaving 8-10 tillers per Clump.

T₆- T₄+ T₅.

T₇ - T₄ + earthing up.

T₈- T₅+ earthing up.

T₉ - Defoliation of 25% leaves in mid May and mid June

T₁₀ - Defoliation of 50% leaves in mid May and mid June.

T_ll - Defoliation of 75% leaves in mid May and mid June.

Achievement/Findings:

Results showed that suppression and removal of late tillers and defoliation of 50% leaves had positive effects on yield and quality of sugarcane. Leaf and tiller management increased cane yield by 2-17 t. ha^-1 and sugar recovery by 0.3-0.7% over untreated check, The lowest tiller suppression and actual tiller mortality as well as the highest productivity were found in treatment where tiller removed by cutting in mid May leaving 8-10 tillers per clump. Leaf and tiller management might be practiced to enhance both cane yield and sugar recovery in sugarcane production.
