Figures & data
Figure 1. Climate conditions during the experimental period of the present study. RC1 to RC5: first to fifth ratoon crops. The plant crop was not treated with stubble shaving.
Figure 2. Effect of high-level cutting on the growth and yield of ratoon crops in two varieties of forage sugarcane. The plant crop was not treated with stubble shaving. Control: high-level cutting with stubble shaving, HC: high-level cutting without stubble shaving. RC1 to RC5: first to fifth ratoon crops.
Notes: **, *, and † indicate significant differences in treatments at 1, 5, and 10% levels of probability, respectively, and n.s. indicates non-significant differences, as indicated by t-test. Values and error bars indicate means ±SE (n = 3).
Figure 3. Effect of high-level cutting on the sum yield of two varieties of forage sugarcane. Control: high-level cutting with stubble shaving, HC: high-level cutting without stubble shaving. RC1 to RC5: first to fifth ratoon crops.
Notes: ** indicate the significant differences at 1% level of probability by two-way factorial ANOVA. Numbers in parentheses indicate the relative values of HC to Control plots as shown 100 in each variety.
