Growth, Nutrient Use Efficiency and Quality of Spring Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) under Different Planting Method and Nitrogen Level

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Regional Research Station, Karnal, CCS Haryana Agricultural University during spring 2017 to study on different planting method and nitrogen level on growth parameter and nitrogen use efficiency of sugarcane. The experiment was conducted in split plot design with three replications. The treatments comprises of four methods of planting viz. conventional planting at 75 cm (M1), half ridge open furrow irrigation planting at 75 cm (M2), wide bed and furrow paired row planting (M3) and wider planting (M4) at 120 cm and six different nitrogen levels viz. control (N1), 75 (N2), 100 (N3), 125 (N4), 150 (N5), 175 kg N ha-1 (N6). Germination count was significantly affected by planting methods at 30 and 45 DAP, however, it was found to be non significant among nitrogen levels. Neither the planting methods nor the nitrogen levels had any significant effect on nutrient use efficiency, brix, pol, juice purity and commercial cane sugar. Significantly higher sugar yield (11.9 t/ha) was recorded in wide bed and furrow paired row planting which was 22.7, 8.2, and 6.3 per cent higher than conventional, wider planting and half ridge open furrow method, respectively. Lower sugar yield (9.7 t/ha) was recorded in conventional method. Among nitrogen levels, sugar yield increases with successive increase in nitrogen application upto recommended dose of 150 kg N/ha.

Evaluation of Qualitative and Quantitative Phytochemical Constituents in Saccharum officinarum L. Exposed to Roadside Traffic-Derived Ambient Air Pollution

“…In addition to shedding light on the impacts, the pollution updates our knowledge of how plants absorb it and how it affects higher animals and humans. We also suggest ways to go about studying environmental contamination in terrestrial ecosystems in the future [2]. To fully investigate the transport area of the examined specific organs leaves, the study was expanded by including an aspect of various environmental situations.…”

Characteristics of Nitrogen Output during Typical Rainfall in Different Sugarcane Growth Stages in a Southern Subtropical Watershed

“…China is the 4th largest sugarcane producer globally, accounting for 6.05% of the world's sugarcane cultivation area and 6.2% of the total sugarcane output [9]. Sugarcane plays a crucial role in China's agricultural and industrial economy because of its renewable supply of sugar and by-products such as biofuels and fiber [21,22]. Located in the subtropical region, Guangxi has the largest sugarcane planting area in China.…”
