Experiment was laid out in randomized block design with seven treatments under three replications. The treatments were applied as T₁—75% Recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF-150, 26 and 50 kg, NPK/ha)); T₂—75% RDF + <i>DKC</i> @ 25 kg/ha (DKC₂₅); T₃—75% RDF + <i>JK</i> @ 2.0 L/ha (two sprayings at 60 and 90 days after planting-JK₂); T₄—75% RDF + DKC₂₅ + JK₂; T₅—DKC₅₀ + JK₂; T₆—100% RDF; T₇—Absolute control (no NPK). An average improvement of 1.02 Mg/ha in soil organic carbon (SOC) was observed after harvesting of ratoon crop compared to initial status (13.55 Mg/ha). However, applying 75% RDF along with DKC₂₅ and JK₂ improved the SOC by 1.695 Mg/ha/yr after completing a sugarcane (plant)-ratoon crop cycle. The application of 75% RDF + DKC₂₅ + JK₂ improved the availability of P and recorded an improvement of 86.6%. Overall, the mean microbial population trend in soil was recorded in the order of bacteria &gt; actinomycetes &gt; fungi. Soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC) and soil microbial biomass nitrogen (SMBN) also increased with the application of bioproducts along with 75% RDF. During the tillering stage, the highest mean PAR incident was recorded as 1509 µ mol/m²/s. In the sugarcane plant crop, the mean photosynthetic rate was recorded as 16.14 µ mol/m²/s, which decreased to 14.11 µ mol/m²/s during grand growth and further declined to 9.29 µ mol/m²/s during the maturity stage. The highest mean sugarcane yield (96.6 t/ha) was recorded with the application of 75% RDF + DKC + JK @ 2 L per ha. Overall mean cane yield with plant crop was about 22.97% higher than the ratoon crop (70.86 t/ha hectare). Thus, it could be concluded that integrated use of both products <i>DKC</i> @ 25 kg/ha and <i>JK</i> @ 2 L/ha (two foliar sprayings at 60 and 90 days after planting) along with 75% of RDF for sugarcane (plant) or ratoon crop increased the highest sugarcane and sugar yields in plant–ratoon system. Soil chemical and biological properties were also maintained at higher level with application of both bioproducts along with 75% of RDF. Thus, the integrated application of both bioproducts (DKC and JK) with 75% RDF could be recommended to improve the crop yield, sustain soil fertility and enhance the profitability of the sugarcane-based production system.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":781,"journal":{"name":"Sugar Tech","volume":"27 3","pages":"749 - 764"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143861188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The selection of varieties is crucial for the success of sugarcane industry, with high-quality varieties making substantial contributions. Over the past two decades, the Sugarcane Research Institute of Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences (SRI-GXAAS) pioneered the sugarcane breeding of “strong ratooning ability, high lodging resistance, and suitable for mechanization” and successfully bred the GT series of varieties, establishing the benchmark for sugarcane breeding in China. Among them, GT 42 and GT 44 are standout varieties in the fifth generation, with GT 42 emerging as the largest and GT 44 as the fifth most significant variety in China by 2023. This perspective delves into the unique role of the GT series in Chinese sugarcane breeding. It specifically discusses the selection of parents, breeding process, and characteristics of GT 42 and GT 44.

To overcome the risks, farmers are adopting risk mitigation strategies like crop diversification, integrated farming system, short duration crops, etc. In the modern era, crop insurance plays as a major tool of risk management. The inherent risks and uncertainty in farming highlight the importance of understanding of farmers' risk perceptions and management strategies, as well as the potential role of crop insurance in promoting stability and resilience. This study uses the data from the farmer’s survey and examined the factors responsible for the adoption of crop insurance among sugarcane farmers and its impact on farm income. The findings revealed the complex interplay of socio-economic factors affecting insurance decisions. Education, farm size, risk aversion, income and previous crop loss experience emerge as significant determinants of insurance adoption. The study indicates a positive impact of crop insurance on farm income, with insured farmers (Rs. 39,673/ha) than their non-insured farmers. However, the research also uncovers a concerning trend of declining insurance participation in Tamil Nadu, with insured sugarcane area dropping from 27.18 per cent in 2018–2019 to 1.25 per cent in 2022–2023. This sharp decline underscores the urgent need for policy interventions to address the barriers in adoption. Improvement of extension services and inclusion of the tenant farmers in the programme would increase the adoption level of crop insurance among the sugarcane farmers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":781,"journal":{"name":"Sugar Tech","volume":"27 3","pages":"737 - 748"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143861360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, wilt struck some of the parental clones, that affected their utilization in breeding programme. Hence, a detailed study was conducted to assess the impact of wilt on flowering and ratoon establishment in about 225 parental clones at NHG. Of the 225 clones, 108 remained free from wilt and the remaining 117 clones exhibited varying incidences of wilt. Majority of wilt-free clones recorded more than 75 to 100% flowering, whereas wilt-affected clones recorded severe impact on flowering. Wilt susceptible clones exhibited very poor sprout emergence in their ratoons and the losses in sprout emergence ranged from 62.9 to 98.5%. In contrast, majority of the 22 resistant clones that exhibited 100% flowering recorded 3.33 to 115.2% higher sprout emergence in the ratoons as compared to the number of canes in the plant crop. Similar impact was observed on flowering and ratoon sprout emergence in 44 popular female parental clones. The NHG being a national resource for sugarcane breeding, it has to be maintained free from wilt and other serious diseases to continuously harness the genetic potential of the clones and to advance varietal development in the country.

Five of the seven varieties (Co 11015, Co 0212, Co 86032, Co 0238, and Co 09004) are commercial sugarcane hybrids (CSH), while the other two (Co 06030, Co 06022) are commercial hybrids derived from an Erianthus base (CSHE). The field screening studies revealed that ESB and INB incidences were significantly lower in the CSHs introgressed <i>Erianthus</i> base than in <i>Saccharum</i>. Furthermore, INB attacked internodes were significantly reduced in their length and girth invariably in all the commercial hybrids. However, INB bored stem tunnelling length was insignificant among the inbred of <i>Saccharum</i> and <i>Erianthus</i>. The varieties Co 06030 and Co 06022 derived from <i>Erianthus</i> showed a detrimental effect on the growth and development of ESB and INB. Similarly, the commercial variety Co 0238, had a significantly lower borer survival rate and a prolonged larval developmental period. A significant increase in secondary metabolites, including phenols, proteinase inhibitors (PIs), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and silicon content of these varieties, could have a negative impact on the biology of ESB and INB, suggesting an antibiosis mechanism of resistance. Correlation studies confirmed that proteinase inhibitors (PIs), silicon content and total phenols were negatively correlated to ESB and INB incidence as well as their developmental growth parameters, whereas total sugars were positively correlated to ESB and INB incidence. The study identified two sugarcane varieties Co 06030 and Co 06022 with <i>Erianthus</i> base which exhibited a moderate tolerant reaction to sugarcane borers. These varieties could be cultivated in borer endemic areas as well as included in the sugarcane integrated pest management (IPM) programme.
