A Verification trial was conducted in 2005-2006 cropping season at farmers field of Thakurgaon and Panchagar districts to evaluate the performances of dolochun as a source of magnesium on sugarcane production. Four levels of magnesium (0, 20, 40 and 60kg per ha) from dolochun with recommended dose of NPKS were applied equally to all the treatments. Application of dolochun @ 40 kg Mg per ha significantly increased the number of millable canes, cane yield and brix percentage. The minimum number of tiller, number of millable cane and cane yield were produced in control plot with recommended NPKS fertilizers where no magnesium was applied. Results revealed that the application of dolochun at 40 kg Mg per ha with recommended fertilizers (N12, P35, K100, S25 and Zn2 kg per ha) produced significantly higher sugarcane yield (91.37 that millable cane (88.15 x 103 per ha) and brix % (22.87) among all other treatments under study.
