An experiment was conducted during February 1993 at Assalaya Sugar Scheme (Sudan), to study the effects of soil amendments, irrigation intervals and cane varieties on some physical and chemical properties of a salt-affected soil as well as yield of sugarcane. The experimental design was a split-split plot with three replications. Application of four tonnes/ha of a combination of filtermud and bagasse significantly increased soil moisture content compared to that of other amendments. Soil amendments decreased ESP and increased saturation percentage which in turn decreased EC** and SAR especially under 10 day irrigation interval. The highest cane yield (158.8 t ha-1) was obtained by the addition of filtermud and bagasse. Variety CO6806 with a mean cane yield of 146.6 t ha-1 outyielded CO527 by about 27;, and the 10 day irrigation interval produced about 25; more cane than that of the 15 day irrigation interval. CO6806 is suggested to be grown under the amendment of four tonnes/ha of filtermud and bagasse and irrigation interval of 10 days to give the highest cane yield in the salt-affected soil at Assalaya Sugar Scheme
