showed significant difference among the treatments and on an average, ranged between 16.90 and 17.78%. The maximum cane yield (109.5 tha-1) and sucrose content (17.78% more sucrose content than T1) was observed in T3 treatment where recommended doses of N.P.K fertilizers and biocane (that is, biocane 2.5 l ha-1 + N: P: K - 170:85:85 kg ha-1) were applied, followed by T5 (104.6 tha-1) treatment where biocane 1.25 l ha-1 and N: P: K - 170: 85: 85 kg ha-1 (17.67%) was applied.
