Abstract
To study the yield performance and sucrose contents of different varieties of sugarcane, an experiment was conducted in sandy clay loam field fertilized @ 150-100-100 kg NPK/ ha. The cane varieties BF-162, CP-43/33, Triton, BL-4 and COJ-64 wereplanted in the pattern of 90 cm apart double row strips in the second week of September, 1986 and were harvested on 15th November, 1987. The highest cane yield of 161.58 tonnes per hectare was recorded in the case of Triton which was at par with BL-4 and BF-162 yielding 156.31 and 150.37 tonnes against 130.35 and 130.16 tonnes per hectare for CP-43 /33 and COJ-64, respectively. The cane varieties COJ64 and CP-43 /33 produced significantly higher sucrose content of 19.59 and 19.29 per cent as against 17.63, 17.41 and 14.96per cent for BL-4, BF-162 and Triton, respectively.
