Description :
A field experiments were conducted on plant and ratoon sugarcane during the year 2007-08 and 2008-09 at Research farm of Mula sugar factory Sonai Dist. Ahmednagar. The main objective was comparative study of different organic manures and fertilizers on nutrient uptake of plant and ratoon sugarcane with variety CO-86032. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replication and thirteen treatment. The treatment consisted of 50% and 25% levels of organic manures viz. Compost, Vermi compost, Neem cake, Press mud and Cassia leaves along with inorganic fertilizers like urea at 50% and 75% levels. The data revealed that maximum increase in nutrient uptake such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium kg/ha in total plant for plant crop were 366.72, 99.56 and 300.49kg/ha respectively. In case of ratoon crop it was recorded 369.54, 99.67 and 300.39 kg/ha respectively. Where nitrogen was supplied through 50% press mud and 50% urea. Second best treatment was 50% vermicompost + 50% urea which was followed by 50% neem cake + 50% urea.
