Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at Ramvadrapur, Panchbibi, Joypurhat (JSM Zone)to find out the potential yield of sugarcane with paired row system. Six sugarcane varieties were tested with khira as intercrop. Results from the expriments that significant difference was observed in tiller, millable cane, cane yield and adjusted cane yield but no significant difference was observed in intercrop yield. The highest number of tiller 442.29 x 103 ha-1 were observed in Isd 34 + Khira but significantly at par with treatment Isd 35 + Khira (395.00 x 103 ha-1). The lowest number of tiller 324.37 x 103 ha-1 were obtained in Isd 36 + Khira treatment. The highest number of millable cane 120.83 x 103 ha-1 and yield,114.58 t ha-1) observed in Isd 36 + Khira followed by 103.65 x 103 ha-1 and 106.461 ha-1 in Isd 34 + Khira treatments. The lowest yield found in Isd 36 + Khira treatment. The highest adjusted cane yield 191.93 t ha-1 was found in Isd 35 + Khira followed by 183.831 ha1 in Isd 34 + Khira and 181.291 ha-1 in Isd 32 + Khira treatment.

Keywords: Sugarcane, Intercrop, Khira (Cucumis sativus)

Location: Ramvadrapur, Panchbibi, Joypurhat (JSM Zone), Joypurhat

Start Date: 01-11-2005

End Date: 25-12-2006

Program Area: Farming System

Non-commodity: Intercropping

Objectives:

To observe performance of khira as intercrop with sugarcane.
To sustain sugarcane cultivation ensuring higher production & income.
To maximize the higher economic return from sugarcane field.
To develop production packages for khira as intercrop with sugarcane

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Ramvadrapur, Panchbibi, Joypurhat (JSM Zone) under Tista Meander Floodplain soils during 2005-2006 cropping season. Six sugarcane varieties viz. Isd16, Isd 26, Isd 32, Isd 34, Isd 35 and Isd 36 are tested with khira as intercrop in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCB) with three replications. Sugarcane and intercrop seed (khira) were planted on 01.11.05 and 20.9.05 respectively. Necessary intercultural operations were done as when required. Cane was harvested in December 2006. Data on different growth parameters were collected.

Achievement/Findings:

The highest number of millable cane 120.83 x 103 ha-1 and yield,114.58 t ha-1) observed in Isd 36 + Khira followed by 103.65 x 103 ha-1 and 106.461 ha-1 in Isd 34 + Khira treatments. The lowest yield found in Isd 36 + Khira treatment. The highest adjusted cane yield 191.93 t ha-1 was found in Isd 35 + Khira followed by 183.831 ha1 in Isd 34 + Khira and 181.291 ha-1 in Isd 32 + Khira treatment.
