Abstract

The usual practice with the cane growers is to utilise the immature tops of cane as seed material or the entire of short crop of 6-7 months old, cut into bits. A belief is current among the ryots that sugarcane seed mate- rial raised in a place produce a better crop when planted at another locality and the crop produced is superior to local seed. The present paper gives an account of experiments conducted at the Sugarcane Research Stations, Cuddalore, Gudi- yatham and Sirugamani.
