An experiment was conducted for two consecutive years at Main Sugarcane Research Station, Navsari, Navsari Agricultural University, Gujarat, India during 2017-18 to 2018-19 to study effect of inter and intra row spacing on growth, yield and quality of sugarcane by using single eye bud settling. It comprised total sixteen treatments of four inter row spacing viz., planting of single eye bud settling at 105 cm row spacing (R1), planting of single eye bud settling at 120 cm row spacing (R2), planting of single eye bud settling at 135 cm row spacing (R3) and planting of single eye bud settling at 150 cm row spacing (R4 ) and four intra row spacing viz., planting of single eye bud settling at 45 cm (S1), planting of single eye bud settling at 60 cm intra row spacing (S2), planting of single eye bud settling at 75 cm intra row spacing (S3) and planting of single eye bud settling at 90 cm intra row spacing (S4) were evaluated in split plot design with three replications. On the basis of pooled analysis, the growth attributes such as number of tillers at 90, 120, 180 days after planting and number of shoots at 240 days after planting and yield attributes such as millable cane height, cane girth, number of internodes per cane, average cane weight and number of millable canes were improved due to different inter and intra row spacing. Significantly higher cane yield at harvest was found under the treatment of planting of single eye bud settling at 120 cm row spacing and remained at par with planting of single eye bud settling at 135 cm row spacing.. The planting of single eye bud settling at 60 cm gave significantly superior cane yield at harvest than rest of treatments. On the basis of pooled results, it is concluded from the study that for getting higher yield of sugarcane crop can be achieved with 120 cm x 60 cm (R2S2) inter and intra row spacing, respectively through single eye bud settlings under south Gujarat condition.
