Variations in growth performance and nitrogen uptake of sugarcane cultivars under rain-fed conditions
The experiment was conducted to evaluate growth and nitrogen uptake of the twelve sugarcane varieties, viz. NiF3, NiF8, Ni9, Ni12, Ni15, Ni17, Ni21, Ni22, Ni25, Ni27, Ni28, and Ni29, under rain-Fed conditions during the period from 70 to 160 days after transplanting (DAT) at the experimental field, Faculty of Agriculture, University of the Ryukyus, Okinawa, Japan. The results showed that water shortage from a rain-fed condition caused reductions, but not significant in plant height and SPAD of sugarcane varieties. The genetic variation in leaf area, yield components, partial and total biomass, and cane yield was found among the investigated varieties. The positive associations between total nitrogen uptake with total biomass production and cane yield suggested that higher nitrogen uptake supports better growth performance of sugarcane under rainfed conditions. From this study, NiF3 and Ni27 could be introduced as the promising sugarcane varieties for better growth performance and high nitrogen uptake under rain-fed conditions

(2020) https://vjas.vnua.edu.vn/ 577 Table 3. Correlation of agronomical and growth parameters with biomass production (n = 36) Parameters Total dry weight Cane yield Stalk number 0.54** 0.30ns Stalk height 0.56** 0.41* Stalk diameter 0.16ns 0.47** Stalk weight 0.56** 0.58** Leaf area 0.83** 0.60** Leaf dry weight 0.88** 0.72** Shoot dry weight 0.98** 0.87** Total N uptake 0.91** 0.89** Note: ns, *, and ** mean non-significant, significant at P< 0.05 and P< 0.01, respectively. 2012; Dinh et al., 2017a; Ethan et al., 2016; Jangpromma et al., 2010; Robertson et al., 1999; Silva et al., 2007; Zhao et al., 2010). In this study, the decrease of plant height increasing rate was recorded during the most severe water- deficit period of 81 to 120 DAT, which led to a lower plant height of water-shortage treatment in comparison to that of control treatment from 81 DAT until the end of the experiment. SPAD seemed less sensitive to water-shortage than plant height. The lower SPAD of stress treatment was observed in a later period from 102 to 112 DAT, then becoming similar to SPAD of control treatment from 123 DAT (Figure 2d). However, the difference in plant height and SPAD after the experimental period between the two water treatments was not significant. A previous study suggested that starting irrigating when pF increases to 2.8 may avoid plant growth reduction (Dinh et al., 2019). Therefore, water shortage (totally around 20 days) in this study is too short to have any significant impact on the growth of sugarcane. Moreover, the disturbance from rainfall, especially during the later period of the experiment, may give sugarcane plants the chance to recover. Jangpromma et al. (2010) and Dinh et al. (2017b) also found the recovery of SPAD after the drought stress period. Jangpromma et al. (2012) agreed that mild drought stress during the short period from 90 to 100 days after planting did not have any noticeable effects on the relative growth rate of sugarcane plant height. Variation in agronomical parameters, biomass, and N uptake of sugarcane varieties In this study, variation in growth, yield component, biomass, cane yield as well as total N uptake was found among investigated varieties. Genetic variation in leaf area, cane yield and yield components, partial and total biomass was also found in sugarcane varieties by; Dinh et al. (2018); Li et al. (2017); Jackson et al. (2016); Luo et al. (2014); Basnayake et al. (2012); and Ramesh (2000). The evidence of variation in N uptake of sugarcane varieties was reported by Schumann et al. (1998) and Ranjith and Meinzer (1997). Under pot conditions, Dinh et al. (2018) did not found any differences in total N uptakes among five similar sugarcane varieties, NiF3, Ni9, Ni17, Ni21, and Ni22, in both drought stress and non-stress treatments. In this study, the significant difference of N uptake was found only between NiF3 and Ni21; whereas, no difference was found among these two varieties with the other three varieties. In this study, total dry matter accumulation had a positive correlation with stalk number, stalk height, and stalk weight (Table 3). Tena et al. (2016) and Silva et al. (2008) also found a positive correlation among yield components (stalk number, stalk height, stalk diameter and stalk weight) and productivity under water- shortage and normal irrigation conditions, respectively. It is suggested that sugarcane with high stalk number, stalk height, stalk weight, and leaf area has high potential for high dry matter accumulation. Moreover, because of the correlation coefficients of stalk number and stalk Variations in growth performance and nitrogen uptake of sugarcane cultivars under rain-fed conditions 578 Vietnam Journal of Agricultural Sciences weight with total dry weight were almost similar (r = 0.54** and r = 0.56**, respectively), the difference in total dry weight among varieties of stalk number and stalk weight type was not noticeable. This point of view is in line with Ehara et al. (1994). In the case of cane yield, the most contribution came from stalk weight (r = 0.58**). In this study, both leaf dry weight and stalk dry weight directly contributed to total plant dry weight and cane yield with a higher correlation coefficient of stalk dry weight (r = 0.98** and r = 0.87**) than that of dry leaf weight (r = 0.88** and r = 0.72**) with total dry weight and cane yield, respectively. It means that stalk has a larger contribution to total biomass production and cane yield than leaf. Furthermore, another finding of this study is that there were positive correlations between total N uptake and total dry matter accumulation and between total N uptake and cane yield. It agreed and supported the suggestion of Dinh et al. (2017a) that higher N uptake could support better biomass and yield performance of sugarcane under both irrigation and water shortage conditions. Under the same N application conditions, better N uptake or N use efficiency could support better growth and crop yield (Acreche, 2017; Calif & Edgecombe, 2015). Higher N use efficiency could also help plants attain higher ability to confront water deficit (Dinh et al., 2017a). From this study, NiF3 and Ni27 could be introduced as the promising varieties for higher growth performance and N uptake under rain-fed conditions. Conclusions The results indicated that there were no significant reductions in the growth of sugarcane under rain-fed conditions compared to irrigated conditions. Under rain-fed conditions, the genetic variation was found among twelve sugarcane varieties in leaf area, yield components, partial and total biomass, total nitrogen uptake, and cane yield. The correlation coefficients among agronomical and growth parameters were positive and significant. Better growth performance of sugarcane could be supported by higher nitrogen uptake under rain- fed conditions. NiF3 and Ni27 were the best varieties for growth performance and nitrogen uptake under rain-fed conditions. References Abayomi Y. A. (2001).
