The field experiment was conducted to study the effect of method of gap filling and gypsum application on cane and sugar yield of sugarcane ratoon on April May planted crop during 1998 2000 in sodic soils at Anbil Dharmalingam Agricultural College and Research Institute, Trichirappalli. The results envisaged that gap filling with sprouted seedlings of ratoon field had the highest mean cane and sugar yield of 99.3 and 13.0 tonneslha re spectively. Gypsum application in furrow has the mean cane and sugar yield of 99.7 and 12.9 tonneslha. Interac tion of the above treatments also resulted in high yield of cane and sugar yield in both years.References
