Variability in quality attributes of sugar cane (Saccharium officinale) clones as influenced by Nitrofertigation in Southern Nigeria

Abstract

Hardly are there any agronomic research conducted on sugarcane in Calabar, the SouthSouth of Nigeria. Much of the researches done on sugarcane are done in the North and South West of Nigeria, inspite of the fact that much Sugar Cane is grown by farmers in the South by fragmentation. However, most of the industries using Sugar Cane as raw materials are found in Northern Nigeria and that has consequently limited production in the South, which is far away from the industries.
