Crop weather relationship in preseasonal sugarcane (Var. CoM 0265)

Abstract

A field experiment was carried out at Central Sugarcane Research Station Padegaon, during 2011-12 to 2013-14 to assess the crop weather relationship in preseasonal sugarcane (var. CoM 0265). Treatments were comprised of nine planting dates at 15 days interval starting from 15th October to 15th February. The results indicated that the early planting produced highest cane and CCS (commercialcane sugar) yield. Significantly the highest brix (21.3), sucrose (20.4%), purity (96.8%) and CCS (14.6%) were observed under early planting of sugarcane on 15th October, which was at par with the treatment 01st November, 15th November, 1st December planting. At harvest cane and CCS yield of sugarcane was positively correlated with maximum temperature, wind velocity and pan evaporation. Significantly positive correlation of millable cane, weight per cane was observed with cane and CCS yield.

Assessment of using bud chips as an alternative to cane cutting for late planting of sugarcane

“…The previously mentioned statement suggests that these problems can be effectively addressed through the adoption of bud-chip technology for sugarcane planting to avoid the inconveniences associated with conventional planting methods. Many workers proved the negative influence of decreasing the length of growing season on sugarcane yield, among them Kamel (2020) and Chaudhari et al (2017). Also, Galal et al (2015) reported that growing sugarcane using seedlings transplanted to the field in April did not result in any reduction in cane yield and allowed the harvesting of broad bean winter crop intercropped with sugarcane, compared to the conventional planting of sugarcane using cane setts.…”
