- Intervention effect Blended fertilizer application rate had a significant effect on node length, cane yield and sugar yield.
- Intervention effect Blended fertilizer rate and time of application and their interaction were highly significant for stalk girth and stalk population.
- Intervention effect The interaction of fertilizer rate and application time had a significant effect on weight per stalk and node length at harvest.
- Intervention effect Application time of blended fertilizer and its interaction with rate had no significant effect on plant height, cane yield and node number.
- Intervention effect Applying 250 kg ha-1 blended fertilizer with 94 kg N ha-1 one month after harvest gave higher ratoon cane weight per stalk, stalk girth and cane yield.
- Intervention effect The same treatment gave higher sugar yield, node length and stalk population.
- Intervention effect The same treatment gave higher node number.
- Observation Highest cane yield was recorded with late application of blended fertilizer at a lower dose and a higher dose of nitrogen.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 250 kg ha-1 blended fertilizer with 94 kg N ha-1 one month after harvest to improve ratoon cane growth and yield.
