Abstract:
The present study was conducted with midlate group of sugarcane clones for cane yield, its components and juice quality parameters in plant crops and ratoon crop and also tested for disease reaction to major diseases during the year 2019-20 to 2020-21 at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Anakapalle, Andhra Pradesh. Eight midlate sugarcane clones along with three standards were evaluated for cane yield and juice quality characters. The clones 2015A 230, 2015A 233 and 2015A 228 were found promising over plant and ratoon crops with high cane yield, CCS yield, quality parameters and red rot resistant against the midlate national standards 83 V15, 2000A 225 and Co86249. Red rot screening for the clone was done by plug method for three different pathotypes that are prevalent in the zone.
