Utilization of By-product from Poultry Industry on Growth, Yield and Yield Components of Sugarcane

Abstract

     This investigation aimed to study the utilization of by-product from poultry industry on growth, yield and yield components of sugarcane var. Kamphaeng Saen 01-4-29 planted in Kamphaeng Saen soil series. Experimental design was arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replications consisting of 10 treatments. The results showed that all treatments that applied of chemical fertilizer (CF) based on soil chemical analysis in combination with by-product from poultry industry (BPI) or spraying with BPI provided the highest cane yield and commercial cane sugar (CCS), followed by that the application of CF based on soil chemical analysis (CF_DOA). Furthermore, the application of CF based on soil chemical analysis in combination with BPI of 1000 g/ 50 kg of CF and spraying with BPI of 600 g/rai (CF_DOA+BPI_{1000 (in soil)}+BPI_{600 (spray)}) provided the highest weight/stalk and sugar yield which were not significantly different from those of the application of CF based on soil chemical analysis in combination with BPI of 1000 g/ 50 kg of CF and spraying with BPI of 300 g/rai (CF_DOA+BPI_{1000 (in soil)}+BPI_{300 (spray)}), the application of CF based on soil chemical analysis in combination with BPI of 1000 g/ 50 kg of CF and spraying with BPI of 150 g/rai (CF_DOA+BPI_{1000 (in soil)}+BPI_{150 (spray)}) and the application of CF based on soil chemical analysis in combination with BPI of 500 g/ 50 kg of CF and spraying with BPI of 600 g/rai (CF_DOA+BPI_{500 (in soil)}+BPI_{600 (spray)}).
