A study conducted during the years 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11 at Sugarcane Research Institute, Muzaffarnagar revealed that cost of cultivation may be reduced by the implementation of innovated scientific technology and can get better sugar recovery per unit area and also its consequential benefits i.e. per rupee return, cost benefit ratio, better seed quality for further plantings, better soil health is also possible by reducing use of inorganic fertilizers through adding organic manures, bio-fertilizers, green manures, cured P.M. C. etc. Singh et at, (2008) also supported the same. Moreover, proper water management may also escape ground water and will provide better yield and quality and reduction cost of cultivation. Gupta and Tripathi (1998) disclosed the ways and means of water management. However, the scientific genotypes as per seasons of planting i.e. autumn, spring and late spring needs correction as per their genetic nature viz. Early and mid late maturing varieties with drought/cold tolerance varieties, water logging varieties, for acidic/alkaline soils, frost prevailing area and useful for limited inputs. (Mithas 2010) Sewa Ram et at., (2008 ) evaluated CoS 96269 a good drought tolerant varieties. The cost of cultivation will also reduced by planting geometry in relation to nitrogen level. Lai et al., (2011) reported the enhancement of sugarcane productivity through the planting technology. Sugarcane yield and quality is also possible at lower cost through organic manuring sources and their residual effect on ratoon with positive results. The same results were obtained by Singh et al., (2008). Better sugar recovery in relation to cultural practices of sugarcane were observed by Lal et al., (2011). As far as seed quality is concern it plays a very important role. It should be free from any seeds borne diseases and any impact of insects/ pests etc. Even than its treatment before planting is a must. Mathur et at, (2004) a low cost technology i.e. pre-planting socking with only 500 ppm solution of common salt for better germination, yield and quality. The influence of transfer technology through demonstrations in sugarcane is a very much important factor, supported by Poswal et at, (2005).
