Abstract
Effect of various planting techniques on growth, cane yield and juice quality of spring planted sugarcane (Sacchant17l officinarum L.) was investigated at the Agronomic Research Area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Sugarcane planted diagonally in 100 cm spaced 100 x 100 cm pits produced the highest cane yield (153.2 t hal) as against the lowest of 68.3 t ha! for cane planted in 90 cm spaced doublerow strips, flat plantation. Maximum number of millable canes 01-:1 (15.3) was also recorded for crop planted in 100 cm spaced 100 x 100 spaced in a diagonal fashion. In general, pit plantation proved to be more productive than Oat planting. However, no significant effect of planting technique was observed on cane juice quality
