The field trial was initiated at R&D farm, Vasantdada Sugar Institute, Pune during 2020 to assess the effect of different harvesting period on ratoon productivity of different sugarcane varieties. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design, comprising three harvesting periods in main plot (10 months, 12 months and 14 months) and ten sugarcane varieties in sub plots (early maturing MS10001, CoM 9057, Co 09004, CoC 671, VSI434 and midlate maturing VSI 08005, CoVSI18121, VSI12003, CoM 0265, Co 86032). The analysis indicated that, harvesting of sugarcane at periods does not affect the production potential and quality of successive ratoon. But varieties differ in their abilities to produce yield and quality. Variety CoM 0265 gave maximum ratoon yield (115.24 t/ha) & CCS (17.29 t/ha) yield and Superior juice quality was found in VSI 434.
