Abstract
In the Asian sub-tropics, sugarcane is an important commercial crop, but sugar produetivity per se is rather low, in spite of the introduction of improved cane varieties and better agri-management practices. The full genetic potential of these improved varieties cannot be realised due to many biotic and abiotic stresses that impede growth and sugar accumulation. To minimise these physiobiochemical constraints, agro-chemical manipulation techniques were used at different stages of sugarcane growth. Ethephon was found to promote seed cane sprouting (13-17%), improve tillering and millable cane formation (12-16%) and help in initiation and formation of ratoon shootsltillers of winter-harvested cane (8-10%). Its beneficial response had been observed in the advancement of cane maturity (plant crop) with appreciable gain in CCS percent, giving adequate flexibility to cane growers on the time of harvest.
