Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A field experiment was conducted in farmer’s field of two locations under High Ganges River Floodplain (AEZ-11) of Bangladesh during 2013-2014 cropping season for evaluating the comparative suitability regarding yield and economic performances of six newly released sugarcane varieties viz, Isd 34, Isd 36, Isd 37, Isd 38, Isd 39 and Isd 40 with the old popular variety Isd 16. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block (RCB) design with three replications. At Chuadanga the highest cane yield of 112.54 t ha^-1 was obtained in Isd 37 which is statistically similar with Isd 39 and Isd 40 and the lowest yield was obtained in Isd 34. But at Jessore the maximum yield of 110.19 t ha-1 was recorded from Isd 39 followed by Isd 37 (99.22 t ha^-1) and the minimum from Isd 36. Similarly, the newly released varieties Isd 37, Isd 39 and Isd 40 gave higher economic return compared to old variety Isd 16 in High Ganges River Floodplain of Bangladesh. Therefore, these three sugarcane varieties can be cultivated in this area with recommended management practices for acquiring higher yield and economic benefit.

Start Date: 00-00-2013

End Date: 00-00-2014

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Sugarcane

Objectives:

To evaluate the comparative suitability regarding yield and economic performances of some newly released sugarcane varieties with the old popular variety Isd 16 at farmer’s field condition under High Ganges River Floodplain.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted in farmer’s field of Uthali, Chuadanga and Baro Bazar, Jessore under High Ganges River Floodplain (AEZ-11) during 2013-2014 cropping season. The land was medium high and the soil was typical loamy with pH 7.5. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block (RCB) design with three replications. Six newly released sugarcane varieties such as Isd 34, Isd 36, Isd 37, Isd 38, Isd 39, Isd 40 and one older popular variety Isd 16 were included as treatments. The unit plot size was 8m×8m where one meter row to row distance was maintained. After well preparation of land 25 cm deep trenches were made by spade. Plantation was done on 6th November, 2013 with two budded setts after treating with Bavisitn 50 WP for 30 minutes. Urea, TSP, MoP, gypsum and zinc sulphate were applied @ 326, 253, 180, 189 and 10 kg ha^-1 respectively. One third of urea and MoP and full doses of other fertilizers were applied in the trenches before planting and mixed properly with soil by spade. The rest amount of urea and MoP were applied as side dressings at 120 and 150 days after planting in two equal splits. Application of Regent 3GR @ 20 kg ha^-1 and Furadan 5GR @ 40 kg ha^-1 were done during basal and side dressings of fertilizers respectively. Other intercultural operations like weeding, irrigation, mulching, earthing up, tying and cultural control of insect pest etc. were done as and when required. Data were collected at different growth stages of crop. Brix reading was taken by hand refractometer from standing cane at proper maturity. The crop was harvested on 19th December, 2014. Collected data were compiled and tabulated in proper form and were subjected to statistical analyses using the computer package Statistix 10 program for Windows version. Finally economic analysis was done following standard procedure to assess the income earned from different cane varieties.

Achievement/Findings:

From the above results and discussions, it is evident that the newly released sugarcane varieties Isd 37, Isd 39 and Isd 40 showed better performance regarding yield and economic return compared to the old variety Isd 16 in High Ganges River Floodplain (AEZ-11) of Bangladesh. Therefore, cultivation of these three sugarcane varieties with recommended management practices can be followed in this area for acquiring higher yield and economic benefit.
