Abstract
Sugarcane in Bihar is mainly grown in the north, where calcareous soils lack zinc (Zn), boron (B) and Sulphur (S).The study tested recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) (150N-85P 2 O 5 -60K 2 O/ha) with S (60 & 80 kg/ha), Zn (10 kg/ha), and B (1.5 kg/ha), applied as a basal dose alone or in combination.The application of Sulphur (S), either alone or in combination with zinc (Zn) and boron (B), had no significant effect on sugarcane germination, tiller number, or plant height during the early growth stages.However, as the crop matured, there was a notable improvement in tiller count, plant height, and dry matter accumulation.Among the treatments, the application of the RDF along with S at 60 kg/ha, Zn at 10 kg/ha, and B at 1.5 kg/ha resulted in the highest number of tillers (137.44 10/ha), tallest plants (266.61cm), and maximum dry matter production (304.27g/plant) compared to the control (RDF alone).Yield parameters such as cane length (194.90-228.34cm) and the number of millable canes (96.09-111.72 10/ha) varied significantly, though cane girth and weight remained unaffected.A higher Sulphur dose (80 kg/ha) negatively impacted growth and yield.Cane yield ranged from 70.90 to 81.40 t/ha, with a yield increase of 9.68-14.80%over the control.Juice quality parameters like Brix (20.52-22.10%),Pol (17.96-19.38%)and juice recovery (46.82-55.63%)improved significantly.The highest sugar and jaggery yield were observed with S 60 + Zn 10 + B 1.5 kg/ha application.
