Effect of planting geometry on growth and yield of sugarcane
Author(s): Vinamarta Jain
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Surgi Farm of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Rajnandgaon during 2016-17 to optimize the planting geometry for getting higher yield in sugarcane. Eight treatments were laid out in randomized block design replicated thrice. The treatments comprised of two row spacing 120 and 150 cm with three plant to plant spacings 60, 90 and 120 cm and farmer’s practice with two and three budded setts. Single eye bud set is placed in Poly begs (6 x 5 inch) in the month of December, 2016 and planted in the month of February in main fields under drip irrigations system. The results revealed that the spacing of 120 x 60 cm registered significantly higher sugarcane yield followed by 150 x 90 cm spacings. Sugarcane planted in all the planting geometry of 120 and 150 cm row spacings produced significantly higher yield over farmer’s practice of 90 cm spacing with 2 or 3 eye bud. Net return and benefit cost ratio was also higher in 120 x 60 cm spacing followed by 150 x 60 cm spacing whereas it was the lowest under farmer’s practice.
