Abstract: The evaluation of mid-late sugarcane genotypes involves assessing various characteristics and performance indicators to determine their suitability for cultivation.The performance of the crop depends on the planting methods, balanced use of fertilizer, and types of genotypes.The most important factor is the ability of genotypes to efficiently utilize the applied nutrients, especially NPK.A field experiment was conducted during 2022-23 at the research farm of Genda Singh Sugarcane Breeding and Research Institute, Seorahi, Uttar Pradesh.The experiment consisted of three promising genotypes and three check varieties for comparison, three genotypes i.e.CoSe 16455, CoP 17446 and CoSe 17452 with three zonal checks varieties i.e.Bo 91, CoP 06436 and CoP 9301, second factor two fertility levels i.e.F 1 -100 per cent recommended dose of NPK and F 2 -125 percent recommended dose of NPK were tested in factorial randomized block design with three replications with an objective to assess the performance of promising midlate sugarcane genotypes of the advanced varietal trial (AVT).The recommended dose of N-P-K was 180-80-60 kilogram per hectare and applied as per treatment requirement.The experimental field was medium in organic carbon (0.68 per cent), low in available phosphorus (13.47 kg/ha) and low in potash (70.38 kg/ha) with a pH of 8.15.Sugarcane crop was planted on 06 March 2022 in spring planting season and harvested on 18 February 2023.The yield of mid late set of sugarcane genotypes were found significantly superior over checks for their performance.The results of mid late set of sugarcane genotypes revealed that all new midlate tested genotypes produced significantly effect on shoot population.Genotypes CoSe 16455 (148.61thousand per ha) produced higher shoot population over all standard except CoP 06436.Genotypes CoSe 16455 (127.38 thousand per ha), CoP 17446 (123.56 thousand per ha) noted significantly higher NMC from compared two zonal checks i.e.Bo 91 and CoP 06436.Tested genotypes CoSe 16455 (94.59 t/ha) and CoSe 17452 (85.89 t/ha) produced significantly higher cane yield over all rest zonal check except CoP 06432.125 per cent RDF obtained significantly higher shoot population (142.23 thousand per ha) and cane yield (89.21 t/ha) as compared to 100 percent application of RDF.No significant variation was observed in germination, NMC and sucrose per cent between 100 and 125 per cent recommended dose of fertilizer application but maximum value was obtained in 125 per cent recommended dose of fertilizer applied plots.Sucrose per cent was not affected significantly by different genotypes against all checks but maximum value noted in genotype CoSe 17452 (16.74 per cent).
