Abstract
Sugarcane is an important commercial crop of India. In a field experiment it was found that short internode (7.2 cm) recorded a lesser cane yield of 0.657 kg. However, long internodes (12.1 cm) yielded 1.705 kg/individual cane. Hence management practice to be developed to increase the internode length of the cane and varieties with long internodes should be developed to improve the productivity of the cane.
