Abstract
A field experiment was carried out in season 2014-2015 at Sinnar Sugarcane Farm in Sinnar State, to study the response of different sugarcane varieties to fertilization. The treatments comprised three varieties namely Co 527, Co 997 and Co 6808, and three types of fertilizers namely nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium fertilizers. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Parameters studied were growth parameters (internodes number, stalk height, stem diameter, plant density and yield), quality of cane (pol, fiber, Brix) and quality of juice (purity, pol, fiber, Brix). The results showed that, the three varieties (Co 257, Co 997 and Co 6808) were significantly responded to the fertilization by nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Internodes number, stalk height and stem diameter of the three varieties of cane significantly increased by potassium fertilizer than phosphorous and nitrogen fertilizers, while plant density and cane weight of the three varieties increased by phosphorous fertilizer compared to potassium and nitrogen fertilizers. The best growth of Co 6808 variety clear in increase by all fertilizers compared to Co 997 and Co 527 varieties. The pol and Brix of cane of the three varieties were not affected by all fertilizers, while the fiber increased by potassium and phosphorous fertilizer respectively. Fiber of cane Co 527, and pol and Brix of cane of Co 6808 were more affected by fertilization. Brix and pol of juice of all varieties were not affected by fertilization, while purity and fiber of juice of all varieties were significantly decreased by fertilization.
