 ABSTRACT

The sugarcane planting techniques has a pivotal role in crop growth and increasing cane yield and improving its quality. The various plating methods with different row spacing is a crucial factor for quantity of nutrients uptake. The maximum yield and yield attributing character like millable canes, cane length, cane girth, number of internodes and weight of individual cane were recorded along with higher germination percentage, better plant height and more numbers of tillers as sugarcane planted with wider row spacing and paired row planting techniques.Wider planting and  paired row planting provides greater scope for overall growth and development of individual plant as it provides better light interception and proper aeration due to the wider space available between set of rows having border effect which facilitating non lodging and better uptake of nutrients ultimately provides proper growth environment for crop. This wider planting will also facilitate the use of power tillers, other machinery and harvester for operations like weeding, earthing up and harvesting and to reduce cost of production in contrast to conventional planting. Juice quality parameters of sugarcane viz., brix %, pol%, purity %, CCS% are not significantly influenced by various plating techniques but due to available of sufficient moisture, optimum temperature and proper aeration soil in wider plating improves quality of sugarcane.

Keywords: Planting techniques, Growth parameters, Juice quality, Millable canes, Nutrients uptake and Yield.
