Abstract
The present study was carried out at El-Mattana Agriculture Research Station Qena Governorate, Upper Egypt in 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 growing seasons to evaluate three sugarcane varieties(two promising varieties viz. G. 98-28, Phil. 8013 and the commercial variety G.T. 54-9) grown at three planting pattern; whole stalk as one, two and three pieces. Treatments were arranged in a split-plot design with three replicates. The main plots were assigned to three sugarcane varieties while planting pattern were distributed in the sub plots.
Results showed that sugarcane varieties were significantly differed in stalk diameter, sucrose percentage and sugar yield ton/fed in the second season only. Cane yield was significantly affected by grown varieties in both seasons. Phli. 8013 showed superiority in all significant traits.
Under this study as compared with of her varieties planting pattern were significantly affected in all studied traits except stalk height, brix and sucrose percentages in the second season and number of millable cane/m2 in both seasons. Planting sugarcane with by cutting cane stalk into three pieces gave the highest values in all studied traits except, stalk diameter which obtained with planting whole stalk.
The interaction effect between varieties and planting pattern was insignificant in all studied traits except in purity percentage in the first season. The height values were obtained when planting Phli.8013 variety by cutting cane stalks into three pieces.
Under conditions of the present work, growing sugarcane varieties i.e., G.T. 54-9, Phil. 8013 and G. 98-28 by cutting cane stalk into three pieces recommended for getting the highest cane and sugar yields/fed.
