Abstract

A field experiment was conducted from January2020 to February 2021 at Finchaa Sugar Factory with the objective of to investigate the effect of sugarcane portion and varieties on the growth, yield and quality of sugarcane. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with three replications in factorial combination of four sugarcane varieties (B80-250, C86-56, C90-501, and C132-80) and three sugarcane portions (top, middle and bottom). Analysis of variance showed that tillering, plant height, number of internodes per stalk, sugarcane height, sugarcane diameter, brix %, pol %, purity % and recoverable sucrose % were highly significantly (p<0.01) affected by sugarcane varieties and plant population significantly (p<0.05) affected by sugarcane varieties. The highest tiller (175441ha-1), number of internodes per stalk (18.33), sugarcane diameter (28.56mm) and plant population (107088 ha-1) were obtained from variety C132-80. But the highest plant height (205.03cm) and sugarcane height (187.89cm) were obtained from variety B80-250. Percent of germination was highly significantly (P<0.01) affected by the interaction of main effects. The highest percent of germination (65%) was obtained from the combination of variety C132-80 and the top portion of sugarcane. Tillering, plant population and sugarcane diameter were highly significantly affected by sugarcane portion. The highest tiller (171552ha-1), Plant Population (108885 ha-1) were recorded from top sugarcane portion but the highest sugarcane diameter (27.67 ha-1) was obtained from the bottom sugarcane portion. A number of millable canes, cane yield and sugar yield were significantly (p<0.05) affected by sugarcane varieties. The highest number of millable canes (106255) and sugarcane yield (112.44 t/ha) was obtained from variety C132-80. However the highest sugar yield (13.00 t/ha and 12.98t/ha) was obtained from varieties C86=56 and C132-80 respectively. Sugarcane portion had significant effect on number of millable canes. The highest number of millable canes (108063) was obtained from the top sugarcane portion. The sugarcane variety C132-80 took dominance over the counterpart varieties (B80-250, C86-56, and C90-501) in germination %, tillering capacity, stalk population, cane diameter, number of millable canes, and sugar yield. C86-56 also showed better sugar yield. Therefore top sugarcane portion and variety of C132-80 and C86-56 are suitable for sugarcane production at Finchaa sugar factory.
