Abstract


The practice of ratooning sugarcane is common in most of the sugar producing countries of the world. In India too, it has become a common practice, in view of its advantages like reduction in cost of cultivation and earliness in maturity. With the introduction of Coimbatore canes this practice has established itself in this State. Experiments on the ratooning of sugarcane were in progress at the various research stations in this State. These indicated that ratoons should be manured for getting good yields but the increased dose of nitrogen to be applied over that of plant crop was not indicated. The results of investigations made to evolve a suitable manuring schedule for ratoons, for getting high yields with good juice quality, are presented in this paper.
