Abstract
Flooding stress affects to yield, yield components and ratooning ability of sugarcane. The objective of this study is to evaluate yield, yield components and ratooning ability of 14 sugarcane varieties in plant cane and the first ratoon stage. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. Each sugarcane variety was cultivated in a 1.65 x 10 m subplot size with four rows. The results showed that KPS 07 - 17 - 83, KK07 - 599 and KPS 07 - 21 - 4 varieties had yield and yield components higher than KK3 and LK92 - 11, the standard check varieties in natural flooding of plant cane by 29 and 9 %, respectively and the first ratoon cycles by 23 and 7 %, respectively. In addition, the yield and yield components of KPS 07 - 17 - 83 and KK07 - 599 were the highest in crop cycles. Therefore, KPS 07 - 17 - 83, KK07 - 599 and KPS 07 - 21 - 4 should be encouraged or used as an alternative variety for the local farmers who suffered from natural flooding in sugarcane fields in Phitsanulok.
