Two sugarcane genotypes SPSG-26 and Co-1148 were sown in six planting patterns, i.e., 100cm spaced 30cm wide single-row ditches (P1), 100cm spaced 60cm wide double-row ditches (P2), 100cm spaced 90cm wide triple-row ditches (P3), 100cm spaced 100 x 100 cm2 pits (P4), 90cm spaced single-row strips (P5), and 90cm spaced double-row strips 30/90cm (P6). Sugarcane genotypes and planting patterns were differed significantly with respect to number of millable canes, cane length, inter-nodal length, weight per stripped cane, tops weight, stripped cane yield, sucrose content and commercial cane sugar (CCS%). The maximum yield of 99.64 t ha -1 was obtained from the variety Co-1148 planted in 100 cm spaced 100 x 100 cm2 pits and significantly high commercial cane sugar (14.75%) was found in SPSG-26 planted in 90cm spaced double-row strips 30/90cm (P6).]]>Ahmad, I.,19901990Akbar, M.,19841984Ali, D.,19941994Anjum, T.,19911991Anonymous,19991999Gill, M.B.,19951995Hafeez, M.A.,19931993Jatala, M.A.,19761976Javed, M.S.,19941994Mali, A.L. and P.P.
