Abstract
The present study was carried out at Shandaweel Research Sta‌tion. Sohag Governorate in 1994/1995 and 1995/1996 seasons to study the effect of row distance and cutting size on the growth criteria of three promising sugarcane varieties. A split plot experimental design with three replicates was used. where the main plots were assigned for row distances while the combination between varieties and cutting sizes were distributed in the sub- plots. Results indicated that row distance affected significantly the number of cane stalks per meter as well as stalk diameter particularly at the late ages of growth. Meanwhile, the effect of row distarce on germi‌nation %. stalk height, number of intemodes and leaves/main stalk and chlorophyll content were not great enough to reach the significant level. Concerning the influence of cuttings size, planting sugarcane by using 4- budded cutting attained in all cases, with few exceptions, the highest values of germination *4, stalk dimensions, number of stalks/ meter and number of internodes/ main stalk. The response of the studied varieties varied greatly from one va‌riety to another. While the F. 153 variety showed superiority over the other two varieties in germination % and number of cane stalk/ meter. variety G. 85- 37 produced the highest values of stalk diameter and stalk height. Meanwhile variety G. T. 54- 9 showed superiority over the other two varieties in number of internodes/ main stalk.
