Summary

Two field experiments on the effects of watering at 40–50 (M1), 60–70 (M2), 80–90 (M3) and 90–100% (M4) of available soil-moisture depletion on sugarcane were conducted at Guneid during 1974–77. Intensive cane growth was observed from April to August. Irrigation treatments significantly affected yields of cane and sugar, and the percentage of sucrose, with treatment M2 giving the most economic yields of cane and sugar.
