Effect of spacings, nitrogen levels and biofertilizers on yield and quality of sugarcane

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during 1990-91 at the Regional Research Station, Mandya on effect of spacings and biocultures in conjunction with fertilizers on cane variety Co 62175. Results revealed that the recommended spacing of 0.9 m with 250 kg ha-I was the best. Both biocultures viz., Alotobaclor sp. and Aiospirillum sp. were found advantageous and their use along with any levels of N benefitted the variety to obtain better yield. Study did not support the saving of N levels due to biofertilization.
