The production of Co.N.5072 (Gujarat sugarcane 6) is 132.53 tonnes. Thus there is a higher yield of 18.69 tonnes per hectare. In one hectare, Additional yield of Rs.63030 is available.
Planted in Gujarat

However, the research center claims that the new variety yields 152 tonnes per hectare. Containing 18.76 percent sucrose. Yield of this variety is 32 to 62% higher (97.59 tonnes / ha) than that of the control variety. It is good for jaggery in Gir Somnath and Junagadh districts. Sukaro and Ratada can fight the disease. Gujarat cane 6 is killing him.
Sugarcane in India
