Abstract
The present study was carried out at El-Mattana Agricultural Re­search Station, Qena Governorate, Upper Egypt in 2000/2001 and 2001/2002 growing seasons to evaluate four sugarcane varieties (three promising ones viz. F.160, Ph.8013 and G.85-37 and the commercial va­riety G.T.54-9) grown at two seed rates of 12600 and 16800 cuttings of 3-budded cane cuttings, i.e., 37800 and 50400 buds/fed, respective­ly, to obtain maximum cane and sugar yields. A split-plot experimental design with three replications was used in this work, where the main plots were assigned for sugarcane varieties while the seed rates were distributed in the sub-plots. The results indicated that the tested sugarcane varieties signifi­cantly differed in stalk diameter and sucrose percentage (in both sea­sons) as well as stalk height and number of millable cane/m2 (in the 2nd season). However, no statistical variances were detected among varie­ties in juice purity percentage, cane and sugar yields/fed in both sea­sons. Planting sugarcane using 16800 cane setts/fed two drills at­tained significantly higher number of minable stalks/m2, cane and sugar yields compared with 12600 cuttings/fed in both seasons. Higher values of stalk height, number of millable cane/m2 and purity percentage were significantly obtained by planting 2.0 drills in the 2nd season. On the contrary, thicker stalks were produced in case of using 16800 cane setts/fed in both seasons. The interaction between the studied factors had no marked ef­fect on stalk diameter, number of millable cane/m2 and sucrose percent­age in both seasons. Meanwhile, stalk height and purity percentage were significantly affected by the interaction (in the 1st season) as well as cane and sugar yields (in the 2nd season).
