Yield and yield attributes of sugarcane as affected by some crop management treatments

This study was carried out at Shandaweel Agricultural Research Station, Sohag, Egypt in two ratoon crops to evaluate the effects of three row spacing (100, 120, 140 cm) on yield and yield attributes of three sugarcane varieties (F 153, G. 85–37 and G.T. 54-9). Results revealed that commercial variety G.T. 54-9 gave the highest values of stalk height, stalk thickness and stalk weight. Whereas, F 153 gave the highest values of number of valid stalks per ha and cane yield per ha. The narrow row spacing (100 cm) gave the highest values of stalk height, number of valid stalks per ha and cane yield per ha. On the other hand, the wide row spacing (140 cm) gave the highest values of stalk height, stalk thickness and stalk weight.
