The Study of Morphological Characteristics, Dry Matter Production and Yield of Four Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) Varieties in South-Western Nigeria (original) (raw)

The study was carried out during the wet cropping season of 2000 and dry season of 2001, respectively at the farm site of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-iwoye, Ogun State in SouthWest zone of Nigeria to determine the weight of cane, dry matter and yield of four varieties of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) in response to NPK 20: 10: 10 fertilizer. Varieties of sugarcane used were Co62175, NCS005, NCS004 and NCS003 and the treatments were laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) replicated three times. The statistical analysis was done using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and means were separated with LSD (Least Significant Difference) at p < 0.05. Results showed significant differences between the varieties of the sugarcane with Original Research Article
