| Details |
Mahaveer Annasaheb Udhgave, has developed a new variety of sugarcane, which is disease free and high yielding. He had encountered a problem with mite in the regular variety of sugarcane. He had observed that a wild plant garaga growing by the riverside had good resistance to both floods and dry weather and was also free from diseases. He grafted this plant to the high yielding variety of sugarcane. The CO-671-80/1 feet is crossed with garaga. The newly developed variety ‘Chandraprabhu’ gives a yield of 120 to 140 tonnes per acre. The innovator has been using it for the last four years. He has been growing this variety for the last four years. He has grown 282 plants which are 100 feet and 1120 plants which are 400 feet. |
