A field experiment was conducted to test the intensification and productivity of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) for two consecutive years (2014-15 to 2015-16) at Amroha district of Uttar Pradesh, India. Different sugarcane planter and conservative tillage practices were taken as different variables for experiments. Two irrigation treatment I1 (Pre planting irrigation) and I2 (Post planting irrigation); two tillage treatment T1 (Conventional tillage) and T2 (Rotavator) followed by five planting treatment P0 (Conventional practice), P1 (Disc type sugarcane planter), P2 (Slit type sugarcane planter), P3 (Ridger type sugarcane planter) P4 (Furrower type sugarcane planter) were performed and tested under RBD (Factorial 2 x 5 x 2) with three replications. Pre irrigation treatments showed better results as compared to post irrigation with most promising with conventional method of tillage. Although treatment T7 (I1P3T1) yields with the highest values of bud germinations (50.37 and 51.71%) at 60 DAP, cane girth (9.31 and 9.67 cm), single cane weight (1.72 and 1.96 kg), cane yield (1074.67 and 1235.53 q/h-1). It was concluded that the mechanized planting system requires less labour and is more frugal than the conventional one.Keywords

Sugarcane planting is a very labour intensive job and involves considerable human drudgery. Planting creates the foundation for a crop and plays a crucial role in its growth and yield. Study was undertaken to evaluate the performance of two different models of sugarcane planters. One model was Khalsa PE-630 type cuter planter manufactured M/S Punjab engineers, Meerut and the other was ITI make cutter planter designed by Indian Institute of Sugarcane Research, and manufactured by Indian Telephone Industries, Rai Bareli. In addition to this two different experimental test set ups based on different principals were developed for measuring cutting forces for sugarcane cutting. It was observed that field capacity of Khallsa make planter was 0.20 ha/hr with the field efficiency of 87.50% at effective working width of 1.34 m and a forward speed of 2.54 km/hr at 2nd low gear. A set length of 32.96 cm with average.Keywords

Sugarcane is a most important cash crop of India. It involves less risk and farmers are assured upto some extent about return even in adverse condition. In agriculture sector, sugarcane shared 7% of the total value of agriculture output and occupied 2.6% of India’s gross cropped area during 2006-07. Sugarcane provides raw material for the second largest agro-based industry after textile. About 527 working sugar factories were located in the country during 2010- 11 with total crushing capacity of about 242 lakh tonnes. The sugar industry is an instrumental in generating the sizable employment in the rural sector directly and through its ancillary units. It is estimated that about 50 million farmers and their dependents are engaged in the cultivation of sugarcane and about 0.5 million skilled and unskilled workers are engaged in sugar factories and its allied industries. Wheat-sugarcane-raton cropping system is followed in whole of western Uttar Pradesh and lower parts of Uttrakhand where sugarcane is the main cash crop and wheat is the major cereal. The system accounts for more than 60% of the total cultivated area in the region. However, lower average yield of planted cane (50 tonnes/ha) recorded in this. The reduction in cane yield owing to delayed planting cannot be compensated by additional inputs viz., frequent irrigations, extra fertilizers and inter culture operations. Planting of sugarcane involves a number of operations viz., cutting of canes into pieces called setts, opening of furrows, placement of fertilizer in the opened furrows, laying setts and covering these with a blanket of soil. The whole process of sugarcane planting is very labour and time intensive. In order to achieve uniform crop stand, correct seed rate, appropriate depth of setts placements and uniformity of setts with required overlapping are important. These, however can better be achieved by using tractor-drawn sugarcane cutter planter apart from economising labour and energy. Also there is a need to evolve proper tillage techniques for early planting of sugarcane in wheat-sugarcane crop sequence. In this paper study conducted on the performance of the effect of pre and post irrigation on different tillage treatments on soil’s physical properties on the different types of sugarcane cutter planters.Keywords
