Abstract

Wide spacing of 75 cms. Between hills flavored heavier tillering and greater percentage of flowering stools, although variety x spacing intersection on tiller survival and come yield at near and actual maturity was observed, CAC 57=2 had more surviving tillers, higher cane tonnage and greater sugar yield at wider CAC 57-11 did better in their respects at closer spacing. CAC 57-2 had comparatively higher stool mortality than CAC 57-11 at wider than closer spacing (25 cms.).

Increasing levels of nitrogen fertilization resulted in increased tiller formation, greater percentage of flowering stools, bigger and longer stalks, heavier tonnage and higher yield in piculs sugar per hectare. CAC 57-2 benefited more than increased nitrogen application at wider spacings while CAC 57-11 showed the opposite response.

Highly significant nitrogen x spacing interaction was observed on tillering and on percentage of flowering stools. Better tillering at any level of nitrogen fertilization was observed at wider than at closer spacing, while flowering was more readily protected by increasing rides of nitrogen at the wider at closer spacing.
