Yield and Yield Components of Some Sugar Cane Varieties (Saccharum officinarum L.) as affected by Different Nitrogen Fertilization Levels
Two field trials were conducted during two successive growing seasons of 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 at Mallawy Agricultural Research Station, Agricultural Research Center, El-Minia Governorate (Middle Egypt) to study the effect of different levels of N-fertilization (160,190 and 220 kg /fed) on yield, yield components and quality of five sugar cane varieties (G.T.54-9(C9), G.2003-47, G.99-103, G.2004-27 and G.2010-7). A split plot design with three replications was used, main plots were represented by five sugar cane varieties (V1= G.T.54-9(C9), V2= G.2003-47, V3= G.99-103, V4= G.2004-27, V5= G.2010-7). The subplots were used for the three nitrogen levels (160, 190 and220 kg N / fed). The results indicated that: 1- Sugar cane varieties and N-fertilization levels exhibit significant effect on all studied traits in both seasons. Promising variety G.99-103 recorded the highest values of stalk hieght, stalk diameter (cm), millable cane ton/fed and sugar yield (ton/fed) in both seasons, while G.T.54-9(C9) variety recorded the highest values of sucrose %, purity% and sugar recovery%, whoever G.2004-27 variety outyielded the highest value of TSS%2- Increasing applied N levels from 160 up to 220 Kg N/fed significantly increased stalk height, stalk diameter(cm), millable cane ton / fed, sugar yield (ton/fed) and TSS (%), while190 Kg N/fed had the highest values of purity% and Sugar recovery%.3- The effect of interaction between sugar cane varieties and nitrogen levels on the studied traits was significant for stalk height in both seasons and purity%, sucrose % and T.S.S. % in plant crop season only. Generally, it could be concluded that under Middle Egypt conditions, it is recommended to inoculate G.99-103 sugar cane varieties with 220 Kg N/fed to maximize the productivity and quality of sugar cane yield.
