As result of rapid increase in number of sugar mills, the area under sugarcane did not increased so much to fulfil the sugar mills requirements and most of the mills are running under capacity or closed. The overall area under sugarcane has decreased in recent survey as compared to 1996 and 2000 surveys. The survey results shows that non-recommended sugarcane varieties (Co-1148 and SPF-238) are the dominant varieties in the area and still occupied about 28 percent of the total sugarcane area in the central Punjab. The sugarcane variety shift from non-recommended (low in sugar recovery) to recommended varieties is encouraging in the study area. Moreover, the percent area under non-recommended variety Co-1148 has decreased in the area as compared to previous surveys (1993, 1996 & 2000). These results have serious long-term implications for researcher, sugar mills and extension agents.
