Abstract
A field study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of sugarcane filter presumed (FPM) on the yield and quality of sugarcane during 199(1-92. FPM was applied in furrows of plant cane on a loam textured medium fertility soil. The study comprised seven treatments; check plot and three NPK levels viz I6H-H4-H4, I6H-II2-112 and 212-112-112 kg ha' maintained from fertilizers alone as well as through filter pressmud. Total requirement of P was met from FPM and the remaining N and K need was fulfilled from fertilizer source. Data revealed that germination and tillering was not affected by any of the treatments. The data on mean cane yield indicate that all the treatments of 212-112-112, 16H-U2-U2 and 168-84-84 from fertilizer source produced higher yield than the equivalent treatments from FPM. The statistical difference among the fertilizer source and 212-112-112 from FPM were nonsignificant whereas, the lowest NP-K treatment from FPM produced lowest yield but statistically more than the check. No effect of FPM and fertilizer was observed on the quality of ca
