Effect of Planting Methods on Cane Yield, Water Productivity and Economics of Spring Planted Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) in Ambala (Haryana)
Subscribe/Renew Journal
An experiment was conducted at farm of Krishi Vigyan Kendra-Ambala to assess the impact of different planting methods of sugarcane i.e. planting methods viz., T1-conventional planting (60 cm row spacing), T2-paired row trench plantation method (60:120 cm spacing) and T3-paired row ridge and furrow plantation method (100:120 cm spacing) on cane yield, water productivity and economics. The cane yield in conventional planting (T1) was 77.53 t ha-1, 82.50 t ha-1 in paired row trench plantation technique (T2), and 86.20 t ha-1 in paired row ridge and furrow plantation technique (T3), which was significantly higher in T3 than in (T1) and (T2). The water productivity was 2.82 in T1, 3.37 in T2 and 3.79 in T3, respectively. The gross return in farmer practice, paired row trench and modified paired row plantation method was 175150.00 Rs. ha-1, 186450 and 194812 Rs. ha-1, respectively. Simultaneously, the BCR was high in paired row trench plantation (2.70) and paired row ridge and furrow plantation method (2.90) than 2.30 in conventional planting.
