  Healthy seed cane supply is the lifeline in the productivity and profitability of sugarcane and hence the sustainability of the sugar industry, the Ethiopian sugar estates/projects have been using tissue cultured sugarcane planting materials since 2011/12. However, there is no study that shows the practical advantage of tissue culture over the conventional seed sources at Ethiopian situations. Thus, the current work was carried out to evaluate the two seed sources of two sugarcane genotypes. Accordingly, analysis of variance proved that the interaction effects of genotype by seed source is highly significant (p<0.001 at α=5%) in all the response variables tested. Similarly, the two seed sources showed statistically significant differences throughout all the responses. The two sugarcane genotypes also showed marked variation in all the responses except the number of live buds .. View More»
