Abstract

The objective of this research was to select sugarcane varieties with yield > 60 tons/ha and commercial cane sugar (CCS) > 11, to recommend to put into production in Binh Duong province. This study was carried out in Phu An commune - Ben Cat town - Binh Duong province, from January 2020 to December 2020. The experiment was designed in a split plot (SPD) with 3 replications and 2 factors, including irrigation as main-plot factor with 2 levels as irrigated and rain-fed (non-irrigation) conditions, and sugarcane varieties as subplot factor with 10 VN varieties named VN14-13-4, VN14-22-5, VN14-23-13, VN14-37-2, VN14-41-8, VN14-45-3, VN14-49-6, VN14-74-1, VN14-87-11 and VN14-89-3. The controls consisted of drought tolerance VN84-4137 and drought sensitive KU60-1 varieties. The results showed that VN14-37-2, VN14-22-5, VN14-23-13, and VN14-87-11 were promising sugarcane varieties, suitable for cultivation conditions in Binh Duong province. Cane yield of these varieties ranged from 69.67 tons/ha to 75.50 tons/ha in irrigated condition. In the rain-fed condition the yields obtained were from 55.50 tons/ha to 61.17 tons/ha. Their average yield was above 62 tons/ha and equivalent to control VN84-4137. Sugar contents of these varieties were above 11.90 CCS. The corrected yield for 10 CCS ranged from 86.83 to 94.78 tons/ha in irrigated condition and 66.10 to 73.99 tons/ha in rain-fed condition.
