Response of two varieties of sugarcane namely SPSG-26 and SPSG 394 to seeding densities of 75,000, 100,000, 125,000 and 150,000 sets ha-1 was studied under field conditions. SPSG-394 produced higher cane yield (64.80 t ha-1) than SPSG-26 (52.64 t ha-1) due to higher cane density, cane length and weight cane-1. However, SPSG- 26 gave higher sucrose content and commercial cane sugar ( C.C.S.) percentage. Seeding densities also affected significantly cane density, cane length, weight cane-1, cane yield, sucrose content and C.C.S. percentage. A significant decrease in cane yield was observed when crop was sown with seeding densities higher than 75,000 sets ha-1. Therefore, seeding density of 75,000 sets ha-1 seems to be optimum for obtaining higher yield of sugarcane. However, maximum sucrose content (17.45%) and C.C.S.(11.87%) were obtained when crop was sown at a seeding density of 100, 000 sets ha-1.
