Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at college Farm, N.M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat)to study the response of sugarcane varieties to phosphorus levels under South Gujarat conditions for two years during 2015-16 and 2016-17 on clay soils. In all 16 treatments combinations arising out of four variety i.e., V1 = Co 86002, V2 = Co 86032, V3 = Co N 5071 and V4 = Co N 7072 and four levels of phosphorus i.e., P0 = control, P1 = 50, P2 = 100 and P3 = 150 kg/ha P2O5 were tested in factorial RBD. In case of number of millable cane and millable cane yield treatment V4 and V3 remained at par with each other and both recorded significantly higher number of millable cane and millable cane yield in comparison to treatment V1and V2, while in quality parameters treatment V2 and V3 showed their superiority over treatment V1 and V4 over respect to most of the quality parameters of sugarcane. Application of 150 kg/ha P2O5 (P3) noted significantly higher number of millable cane and millable cane yield as well as quality parameters of sugarcane viz., commercial cane sugar yield (t/ha) and P and K content in juice (ppm). Interaction effect of different variety of sugarcane and different levels of phosphorus application that treatment combination of V4P3 (Co N 7072 and 150 kg/ha P2O5) recorded significantly higher number of millable cane per hectare and millable cane yield.
