Abstract:
Evaluation of various sugarcane genotypes for yield & yield attributing traits was conducted at the experimental area of Sant Kabir College of Agriculture & Research Station, Kawardha (Kabirdham) Chhattisgarh. Twelveearly genotypes along with 4 standard checks and twenty four mid late group genotypes along with 4 standard checks of sugarcane were tested Checks viz. Co 85004, Co 94008, CoC 671 and CoM 265 and four standards viz. Co86032, Co99004, Co 8014 and Co 8636 respectively. These genotypes of sugarcane were evaluated in the completely Randomized block design with three replications for their yield performance and other yield & quality attributing traits. The genotypes of sugarcane were collected from Central Sugarcane Research Station (MPKV), Padegaon (Maharashtra). In early group MS 13081 (116.47 t/ha),was found significantly superior over the best standard COM 265 (103.39 q/ha). However, the genotype MS 13081 exhibited better performance for cane yield also showed satisfactory performance for brix % (20.43) and sucrose % (10.96) while in mid late group of sugarcane genotypes CO 13013 (153.04 t/ha) followed by genotype CO 13009 (150.13 t/ha), CoN 13074 (147.16 t/ha) and CoM 13074 (146.25 t/ha) were found significantly superior over the best standard Co-99004 (113.10 t/ha). Genotypes MS 13081 early group and CO 13013 mid late group exhibited good performance in terms of average cane yield and yield components as compared to the standard checks. Stem height, single cane weight, length of nodes, brix percentage and sucrose percentage were play pivotal role for cane yield.
