A research experiment was carried out to evaluate six qualitative and quantitative traits (germination, tillering, number of millable canes, cane yield, CCS and sugar yield) of twelve medium and late maturing sugarcane strains against a medium and late maturing standard strain SPF-213. Statistically significant differences were recorded in all strains. The maximum germination (65.07%) and cane count (82.29 000/ha) were recorded in S2002-US-619 while highest cane yield (94.17 t/ha) and sugar yield (10.82 t/ha) were noticed in CP85-1491. Similarly maximum tillers per plant (2.47) and CCS (11.70%) were observed in CPIIS-35 and S2002-US-327 respectively. All the remaining strains showed lower values than these recorded observations.
