Many varieties are introduced by ICAR-Sugarcane Breeding Institute and other sugarcane research stations for yield and sugar recovery improvement. However, the yield and sugar recovery were stagnated at about 60 t/ha and less than 10% in sugar recovery up to 2012 in sub tropical India. The cost of production of sugar and profitability of the sugar industry besides many other factors depends primarily on the availability of good quality sugarcane during the crushing season. The main reason behind low productivity and sugar production was lack of promising high sugar sugarcane varieties. The farm
productivity and sugar recovery from this part of the country remained much lower than the national average till few years back. However, the variety Co 0238 has turned around the situation with significant improvement in sugar recovery and cane yield to withstand the adversities of the unfavourable climatic factors in Haryana state of India. The data collected from different sugar mills have revealed that the sugar recovery significantly improved due to cultivation of variety Co 0238. The sugar recovery has improved 1.5 to 2 % and yield about 10-12 t/ha depending upon the agro climatic conditions of Haryana.
Improved sugar recovery has increased sugar production and has immensely benefitted sugarcane farmers and sugar mills.
