Abstract
Comparative yield performance of some new and old cultivars of autumn sugarcane was seen at the Postgraduate Agriculture Research Station (PARS), University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. The cultivars consisted of BF·162, BL-4, BF-166,
COJ-64, CO-975, CO-l148, CO-1321, CP-43/33, CP-57/614, CP-75/300, HF-147,
HF-150, HF-152 and PR-l000. The results revealed that all the varieties differed
from one another in their growth as well as yield characteristics. The variety BF-162
was significantly the highest yielder (177.79 t ha-I
) of all the varieties under test
while the minimum yield (67.20 t ha-I
)was recorded in CO-1321. The sucrose percentage determined in HF-152 was 17.35 followed by that of CO-1321 and CP57/614 which yielded 17.21 and 16.4% sucrose, respectively. Harvest index percentage was the highest (80.14) in variety PR-l000 and the lowest (71.05) in HF-152
