Abstract :

Field experimentswere conducted on the Sugarcane Research Center Farm at Guneid during seasons 2015/2016 and 2016/2017as plant cane crop.The soilwasclayey vertisol with moderate chemical fertility.The objective of the study wasto evaluate the effect of different sources, rates of nitrogenand phosphorus fertilizers on the yield and quality of sugarcane.The experimental design was a randomized complete block design (RCBD)with seven treatments and four replications.The results showed a significant differencesbetween treatments at (P>0.05) level for cane and sugar yield(tons/ha).The highest cane and sugar yieldwere recorded fromtreatment (T2)which contain di–ammonium phosphate (DAP) in combination with ammonium sulphate (AS)while the lowest cane and sugar yield (tons/ha)were recorded from the control (T1)which containtriple super phosphate (TSP) in combination with urea in the two seasons respectively. All treatments which contain di–ammonium phosphate(DAP) in combination with Ammonium sulphate(AS) fertilizersrecorded higher cane and sugar yield (ton/ha) thanthe control (T1)inthe two seasons of the study.
