Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during the main season of 1993-94 and 1995-96 at Sugarcane Research Station, Melalathur, to study the effect of chip- ) bud method of planting and dose and time of nitrogen on early-maturing CoC 92061 sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.). Transplanting of 40 days old chip- bud seedlings grown in polybags could prove superior among different methods of planting chip buds in enhancing cane yield through higher millable cane population and single cane weight. This practice also resulted higher sugar yield owing to substantial improvement in commercial cane sugar (%). The results were - - comparable with conventional method. The conventional method gave the highest yield and turned out to be the most economical. Application of 281 kg Nlha in 4 splits improved millable canes, single cane weight, cane and sugar yield.References
