• ABSTRACT A comparative study was conducted to evaluate the performance of eight newly developed sugarcane genotypes against the standard variety Thatta-10 in advanced varietal trial. Sugarcane genotypes, cane yield, yield components, CCS%, Thatta INTRODUCTION Sugarcane, in Pakistan, keeps the place of second major cash crop and it is source of raw material for the manufacture of white sugar (Khan et al., 2010 and Junejo et al., 2010). In addition to this, it produces several economically viable byproducts such as alcohol for pharmaceutical industries, ethanol for fuel production, pressmud for organic matter and nutrient source in crop production and baggase for manufacture of chip board and papers (Khan et al., 2013). In spite of distinct progression in sugarcane research and speedy growth in sugar industry, low cane yield and sugar recovery is being recorded in Pakistan. Most of the sugarcane varieties under commercial cultivation are getting obsolete and losing their production potential with the passage of time, therefore, a large number of sugarcane varieties were slowly phased out due to their unstable productive behavior under various biotic and abiotic stresses. [...]in the existing level, evaluation of new sugarcane varieties bearing higher cane and sugar yield potential is the need of the time for sustaining cane and sugar productivity as well as betterment of growers and millers. Thatta-903, Thatta-907, Thatta-910, Thatta-911, Thatta-912, Thatta-913, Thatta-914 and Thatta-920 developed from local sugarcane fuzz were tested in advanced varietal trial for their cane yield, yield components and quality parameters against commercial variety Thatta-10 in an...
