Abstract: A Field experiment were conducted at Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during 2016-17 and 2017-18 to study the effect of planting material, spacing and nitrogen management on sugarcane seed crop production under south Gujarat condition. Total sixteen treatments comprised of four planting material; tissue culture, nursery seedling, one budded sprouted and two budded setts and two plant spacing of 120 cm x 45 cm and 120 cm x 60 cm with two nitrogen levels; 250 kg N/ha and 300 kg N/ha. One the basis of pooled analysis of experiment showed that significantly maximum sugarcane yield (99.47 t/ha) was obtained with two budded setts planting material due to maximum yield attributing characters, similarly, juice quality (brix, purity, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar and commercial cane sugar) as well as content and uptake as compare to other planting material. The plant spacing of 120 cm x 60 cm was recorded significantly higher cane yield (75.98 t/ha) with yield attributing characters. Similarly, quality of juice. The application of 300 kg N/ha were recorded significantly higher in all the yield attributing characters as well as juice quality and sugarcane yield (75.03 t/ha) which is higher to 250 kg N/ha.
