Abstract
The varieties with good ratooning potential is attractive to farmer of Punjab province. In this experiment, performance of thirteen promising candidate sugarcane clones along with two check varieties; HSF-240 and CPF-246 were tested for their ratooning ability at Sugarcane Research Institute, Faisalabad during 2016. It has been observed that one of the tested clones; S2008-FD-19 surpassed both the check varieties in terms of cane yield and S2009-SA-8 (12.90%) surpassed the sugar recovery potential of one of the check variety; HSF-240 (12%) in terms of commercial cane sugar percentage or sugar recovery percentage. The results of the ratoon crop sprouts revealed that varieties; S2008-FD-19 (117.43 thousand tons ha-1), SL-96-175 (115.83 thousand tons ha-1) had no significant difference regarding the number of sprouts with a check variety HSF-240 (120.20 thousand tons ha-1). The findings of the current study also revealed that S2009-SA-8 has significant potential of enhancing sugar recovery through breeding programs and by refining production techniques.
