Abstract

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) occupies a major position among the commercial cultivated crop cultivated in India Sugar Industry is the second largest organized industry in our country. In Maharashtra sugarcane crop production is higher but low productivity as compared to north India (Utter Pradesh) The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of mismanagement in harvesting and delay in transporting of harvested cane. For conducting an experiment at research farm of L.M.K College of Agriculture Kadegaon, District - Sangli, State-Maharashtra during 2020-21. The experiment involved namely varieties CO 86032 (V1) and COC 671 (V2), sampling months January (H1), February (H2), storage condition (S) cane stored in shade (S1), stored in sunlight (S2), period after harvest (at 0, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 49hrs after harvest) in split plot design with three replications. Among the sugarcane varieties COC 671 was recorded higher brix, pol percent and CCS percent but loss in moisture % was more in variety CO 86032 so the stale cane weight and juice extraction (%) was more in variety CO 86032. Sugar recovery was higher in variety COC 671.
