Summary

Sugar cane (Saccharum sp. hybrid cv. Co 1148) was planted in October alone and in association with potato (Solarium tuberosum cv. Kufri Chandramukhi), coriander (Coriandrum sativum cv. Sheetal), mustard (Brassica juncea cv. T59) and wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. K816) to find the optimum N dose in alluvial entisols of Lucknow, India. The yield of sugar cane was least in association with wheat and most with potato. The optimum N doses for sugar cane were 152, 175, 186 and 231 kg/ha when grown in association with potato, coriander, mustard and wheat respectively. The optimum N dose for sugar cane grown alone was 186 kg/ha.
