Abstract/ Executive Summary:

At Sreepur location Amrita and Isd 32 were showed significantly higher sprouting percentage compared to other tested varieties. Millable cane was highest in Amrita (84.16x103ha-1), but it was statistically similar to among all tested varieties. In respect of yield, the variety Amrita produced significantly higher yield (103.18 TCH) followed by Isd 32 (94.58 TCH) and the lowest yield was recorded from the variety Misrimala (57.21 TCH). Amrita (19.70%) indicated higher Brix (%). Amrita, Isd 32 and Isd 30 was better for ratooning regarding all the parameters of higher cane production. At Kaligonj, in case of sprouting of clump Isd 32 established well and showed significantly higher sprouting percentage followed by Amrita. There were no significant differences among the tested varieties in respect of tiller production. The millable cane was found highest in Isd 26 (152.1x103 ha-1) followed by Isd 30 (132.3x103ha-1). Consequently, the highest cane yield was observed in Isd 30 (172.2 TCH) followed by Amrita (156.3 TCH). The highest Brix % was observed from Isd 32 (19.33%) and the lowest from the Isd 36 (14.67%). Therefore, Isd 26 and Isd 30 showed better performance for ratooning in Kaligonj location.

Keywords: Sugarcane, ratoon and varieties

Location: Kaligonj and Sreepur , Gazipur

Start Date: 29.11.2006 and 03.04.2007

End Date: 15.11.2007 and 24.03.2008

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Sugarcane

Objectives:

1. Evaluating the cane yield and goor production of BSRI recommended sugarcane varieties compared to existing local varieties

2. Selection of most suitable varieties for ratoon crops.

3. To observe the suitability of BSRI recommended sugarcane varieties in non mill zone.

Methodology:

An experiment was undertaken to find out the suitable variety for higher yield and goor production in ratoon cane at Kaligonj and Sreepur during 2006-07 cropping season. Seven varieties namely Isd 16, Isd 26, Isd 30, Isd 32, Isd 36, Amrita and Misrimala (local-standard variety) of sugarcane were transplanted in farmer’s field following RCB design replicated three times. Two eyed soil bed settlings were transplanted in December 2005. At Kaligonj, cane was harvested in November 2006 and at Sreepur April, 2007. Soon after harvest of plant crop, stubble shavings were done. Irrigation was applied without delay after stubble shaving. As soon as the soil attained in the tilth condition recommended fertilizers and chemicals were applied in between rows and thoroughly mixed with soil. The rest amount of fertilizers were applied as top dressing at 90 DAS and 180 DAS.

Achievement/Findings:

The millable cane was found highest in Isd 26 (152.1x103 ha-1) followed by Isd 30 (132.3x103ha-1). Consequently, the highest cane yield was observed in Isd 30 (172.2 TCH) followed by Amrita (156.3 TCH). The highest Brix % was observed from Isd 32 (19.33%) and the lowest from the Isd 36 (14.67%). Therefore, Isd 26 and Isd 30 showed better performance for ratooning in Kaligonj location.
