ABSTRACT
Sugarcane is one of the valuable crops in Pakistan. It contributes much to the GDP of Pakistan. But the production technology to produce sugarcane is very old in Pakistan. The new and more efficient method of sugarcane sowing is the bud chips sowing method, also known as Sustainable Sugarcane Initiative (SSI) method. Two varieties of sugarcane, CPF-246 and CP-77/400, were grown by the buds chips method, and seedlings were treated by the following treatments 0.4% Isabion solution, 2% SOP solution and 1:30 MLE solution, respectively, in both varieties. Seedlings treated with 2% SOP solution have the best germination and gained maximum height as compared to 0.4% Isabion and 1:30 MLE solution. We concluded that farmers could get better germination and growth of sugarcane crops by using the bud chips method and treating their seedlings with a 2% SOP solution.
