Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A comparative study on four newly released sugarcane varieties Isd-18, Isd-19, Isd-20 and Isd-21 against the standard varieties Isd-2/54 and Isd-16 was conducted at JSM growers field under Tista Floodplain soils. It was found that all the newly released sugarcane varieties tested produced significantly higher cane yield compared to standard variety Isd-2/54 and identical yield with variety Isd-16, a widely accepted high yielding variety. Therefore, there is a great scope to increase productivity by using newly released varieties in growers field in Tista Floodplain soil

Keywords: Performance,Sugarcane,Tista Floodplain

Location: JSM-Growers field under Tista Flood Plain soil

Start Date: 00-00-1991

End Date: 00-00-1992

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Commodity: Sugarcane

Objectives:

To evaluate the comparative performance of these newly released varieties.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at JSM-Growers field under Tista Flood Plain soil during cropping season 1991-92 with six varieties of which four newly evolved and two commercial (standard) varieties. Each varietiy was treated as a treatment and each farmer was as replication. There were six replications. The treatments were as follows: T₁=lsd-2/54 (Standard), T₂=lsd-16, T₃-lsd-18,T₄=lsd-19, T₅-lsd-20, T₆=lsd-21. Settlings of sugarcane were transplanted in main field during mid November, 1991 and it was harvested during mid January, 1993. The method of planting was STP two budded soil bed settling. The age of settling was six weeks. The land was prepared by 6 ploughing and cross ploughing followed by laddering with bullock drawn country plough. Trenches were prepared by hand spade. the settlings were transplanted in main field at 100cm row to row and 45cm plant to plant distance. Fertilizers were applied at the rate of :125 kg N, 125 kg P₂0₅ and 110 kg K₂0/ha^-1. Full doses of TSP, 1/3rd MP and 1/3rd urea were applied in trenches during the time of transplantation. The rest of MP and urea were applied in two equal split at early growth stage and late tillering phase of sugarcane. Intercultural operations were done as and when required. Data on percent establishment of settling in main field, tillering, tiller mortality, millable cane, and yield of sugarcane were recorded and analyzed statistically.
