Abstract:
Sugarcane seedlings derived through micro-propagation 2003V46 (TC) were studied compared to conventional set propagation (2003V46) for cane and sugar yields, yield components, juice quality parameters and tolerance to post harvest deterioration on YLD. The results indicated that cane and sugar yield, yield components at harvest, and juice quality parameters at 10th and 11th months were found to be high in 2003V46 (TC) compared to 2003V46. In addition 2003V46 (TC) is also moderately tolerant to YLD while 2003V46 is susceptible. Both 2003V46 (TC) and 2003V46 were relatively tolerant to post-harvest deterioration.
