An experiment was conducted to study the tiller dynamics in sugarcane variety Isd-16 under different planting/transplanting techniques such as planting of three-budded setts, paired spaced planting of two-budded setts, planting of plant settings and spaced transplanting of soil bed and polybag settings. Monthly counts on tiller production showed maximum tiller population in May irrespective of planting/transplanting techniques which gradually declined due to mortality of tillers thereafter. Higher tiller was obtained from transplanted settlings compared to direct planted two/three-budded setts. Tillers produced by May, 65-78% of them died till harvest in December, and only 22- 35% tillers become millable canes. The present findings sought for research attention towards manipulation of soil and nutrition levels as well as improved management practices on tillers for maximizing millable canes to contribute in sugarcane yield.
