Abstract
A new sugarcane clone AEC86-347, was obtained from seed (fuzz), of a cross combination of NCo 310 x CP57-614, imported from ARS, USDA, Canal Point, Florida, USA. The genotype was evaluated for the response to NPK fertilizers for two consecutive years. Significant (P 0.05) differences were observed among the fertilizer treatments. Treatment 3 (200 N kg/ha:120 P2O5 kg/ha:150 K2O kg/ha) showed the best results as compared to the other fertilizer treatments. Six characters i.e., cane yield, plant height, weight/stool, stalks/stool, commercial cane sugar and sugar yield were examined under different fertilizer doses. As per cost: benefit ratio, it was observed that treatment 3 was the suitable fertilizer treatment for clone AEC86-347 to obtain higher cane and sugar yield.
