Effect of some newly introduced fertilizers in sugarcane.

A field experiment was conducted at Sugarcane Research Institute, Faisalabad to study the effect of different fertilizer forms (solid and liquid) by different application methods (basal, top dressing, spray and fertigations) on yield and quality parameters of sugarcane variety HSF-240. Statistically significant results were obtained with respect to tillers per plant, number of millable canes (000/ha), cane yield (t/ha), sugar yield (t/ha) and juice% cane while non-significant results were obtained regarding germination%, brix% juice, pol% juice, purity%, CCS% and sugar recovery%. Similarly, those treatments received a combination of solid and liquid fertilizers produced results that were mostly statistically at par as compare to that treatment which received solid fertilizers only.
