Abstract
An investigation was conducted at two farmers’ field viz Lalpur (Natore) and Sirajgonj during two consecutive cropping seasons (2003–2005) to screen flood stress tolerant sugarcane clones. At Lalpur location clones such as I 110-98, I 139-98, I 142-98 and I 137-96 showed highly tolerant reaction having tolerance rating scale 1 against periodic natural flood stress, and obtained 118.8, 99.2, 108.3 and 121.4 t ha−1 estimated cane yield respectively. At Sirajgonj location clones such as I 82-98, I 98-98, I 110-98, I 139-98, I 142-98, I 202-97 and I 137-96 showed tolerant reaction having tolerance rating 2, and produced 114.3, 112.7, 112.3, 80.6, 102.8, 103.2 and 113.9 t ha−1 estimated cane yield respectively. Results indicate that BSRI bred above mentioned clones have built in potential to grow up to 90 cm depth periodic flood stress period for 90days.
