“…The average water requirement of sugarcane is to the tune of 1200 to 3000 mm. The number of irrigations in sugarcane depends upon the climatic conditions, type of soil, method of planting, and use of manures and fertilizers (Choudhary et al, 2013, Abu Alama et al 2022. All the physiological and yield-related aspects of a crop were severely affected by drought from the very early stage of seedling to harvesting (Tawfik and El-Mouhamady, 2019).…”

A field experiment was conducted during two consecutive seasons of 2020/21 and 2021/22 at the Sugarcane Research Center Farm – Gunied, (Central Sudan Agro-climatic zone), to evaluate the effect of water deficit irrigation at different growth periods on yield, quality and water productivity of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) Variety Co 6806. The study was designed in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) and replicated three times. Irrigation deficit treatments were applied when available soil moisture content (ASMC) reached 25% in the root zone at eight different growth periods. The eight growth periods were begun from plant age 51th day to day100th at which the first deficit irrigation treatment was applied (DT1), age from day101th to day 150th the second deficit irrigation treatment was applied (DT2), age from day 151th to day 200th the third deficit irrigation treatment was applied (DT3), then at the same growth period length of 50 days fallow the other treatments till DT8 the eight irrigation deficit treatment was applied at crop age from day 401th to day 450th. These were compared with optimum irrigation (DT0) which was irrigated at 60% ASMC at the root zone. Results showed that all deficit irrigation treatments (DT1 to DT8) recorded significant cane and sugar yield reduction than the control (DT0) in the two growing seasons. In this sense, DT1, DT2, DT3, and DT8 treatments have recorded the highest cane and water productivity. Therefore, for sugarcane crop planting in November deficit irrigation must be avoided at the crop age of 6.7th month to age 13.3th month.

Background and Objective: In Sudan, sugarcane crop is exposed to a certain level of water deficit during particular periods, usually before and after the rainy season caused by technical problems with irrigation pumps. This shortage of irrigation water that occasionally happens with different levels is expected to reduce yield and quality. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of water deficit caused by wide intervals before and after rainfall on yield, quality and water productivity of plant cane. Materials and Methods: A field experiment was conducted during seasons 20108/19 and 2019/20 at Guneid Sugarcane Research Center Farm, Sudan. The experiment led to a randomized complete plot design with four replications. The treatments involved three levels of water deficit before rainfall; WDI 1 : 30 days, WDI 2 : 50 days, WDI 3 : 70 days and after rainfall; WDI 4 : 30 days, WDI 5 : 50 days WDI 6 : 70 days compared with control WDI 0 : 12 days. Cane yield and quality parameters were recorded. Results: The experimental results revealed significant effects on cane yield parameters. The quality parameters resulted in no significant difference (p<0.05) in plant cane crops. Treatment WDI 1 gave significantly (p<0.05) the highest cane and sugar yield values. However, WDI 3 and WDI 6 treatments resulted in significantly (p<0.05) decreased in cane and sugar yield when compared with the other treatments. High values of water productivity were recorded when water deficit treatment was applied before rainfall. Conclusion: Water deficit treatments of 70 days before and after rainfall may be avoided in sugarcane irrigation scheduling.
