COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SOME SUGARCANE STRAINS IN RELATION TO YIELD AND QUALITY

2009 
A field trail was conducted during 2005-06 with the objectives to evaluate suitability and adoptability potential along with comparing yield and quality triats of fourteen sugarcane strains viz; S2000-SP-203, S2000-US-722, S2001-US-62, S2001-US-71, S2001-US-104, S2001-US-400, S2002-US-36, S2002-US-89, S2002-US-109, S2002-US-114, S2002-US118, S2002-US-140, SPF-213 (standard) and HSF-240 (standard). All strains varied significantly from each other. Statistically significant and tabulated data showed maximum values of germination (51.27%) and CCS (13.35%) in S2000-US-203, tillers per plant (1.74) and number of millable canes (109.38 000/ha) in S2001-US-400, cane yield (96.53 t/ha) and sugar yield (11.16 t/ha) in S2000-SP-722 respectively when these strains were compared with early maturing as well as medium and late maturing standards.
