Evaluation of sugarcane genotypes for yield and yield contributing traits under Kabirdham location of Chhattisgarh state

Evaluation of sugarcane genotypes for yield and yield contributing traits was conducted at the experimental area of S. K. College of Agriculture\u0026 Research Station of Kawardha (Kabirdham) Chhattisgarh. Thirteen early genotypes along with 3 standard checks and fourteen mid late group genotypes along with 2 standard checks of sugarcane were tested Checks viz. Co 94008, CoC 671 and Co 85004 and two standards viz. Co99004 and Co86032, respectively. In early group Co-11001 (1216.43 q/ha) was found significantly superior over the best standard Co-85004 (883.4 q/ha). However, the genotype Co-11001 exhibited better performance for cane yield also showed satisfactory performance for brix% (26.88) and sucrose % (22.36) while in mid late group of sugarcane genotype Co-11073 (1189 q/ha) was found significantly superior over the best standard Co-86032 (886 q/ha). Genotypes Co-11001 early group and Co-11073 mid late group exhibited good performance in terms of average cane yield and yield components as compared to the standard checks. Stem height, single cane weight, length of nodes, brix percentage and sucrose percentage were play pivotal role for cane yield.
