An experiment was conducted to study germination response to ambient temperature in raising sugarcane settings. The highest germination was recorded in single-budded setts planted in polybag. Higher germination was obtained in single-budded setts compared to two-budded setts planted in soil bed. Temperature directly affected both rate and speed of germination, and minimum temperature should not be below 20 deg. C for good germination. Rate and speed of germination decreased as the ambient temperature dropped. Varietal difference exists on rate of germination but not in speed of germination. The variety L. Jaba-C was found relatively cold tolerant compared to variety Isd-16. Therefore, it may be suggested to use single-budded setts especially in polybag and the variety L. Jaba-C during cold period for higher germination.
