ABSTRACT
The experiments were conducted at Zimbabwe Sugar Association Experiment Station, Chiredzi, Zimbabwe during the period 2015-2016 to study the growth, yield and economic benefit analysis of sugarcane as influenced by plant media, intra-row spacing and varieties. Two experiments were conducted with the 1st experiment that evaluated the best plant media to raise sugarcane bud chips and the 2nd experiment on determining the best intra-row spacing that gives best yield, using different sugarcane varieties.
Effect of plant media and variety experiment was arranged in a 4*2 factorial design in Randomised Complete Block Design (RCBD) replicated three times, with four plant medium (Composted filter cake, Composted pine bark, Composted cattle manure and Top soil mix) and two varieties (ZN7 and ZN10). Data was analysed using GenStat 14th edition and separation of means was done using LSD at (P
