A field experiment was conducted during cropping seasons of 2008–09 to 2010–11 at Kota to evaluate different sugarcane genotypes (COPK-05191, COPK-05192 and CO-05011) under three levels of NPK (150: 45: 30, 200: 60: 40 and 250: 75: 50) in two seasons (spring and summer). Genotype COPK-05191 recorded highest cane yield and commercial cane sugar (CCS) across the season. Individual cane weight increased significantly upto 200: 60: 40 NPK/ha. Genotype COPK-05191 gave better yield and net profit, hence could be adopted in the region for optimizing sugar productivity and regulating crushing schedule at factory level. Fertility level of 200: 60: 40 NPK/ha was optimum for growth and cane yield during spring as well as summer planting.
