Results of the experiments conducted during 1998-1999 and 1999-2000 revealed that among the methods of irrigation, all furrow irrigation and alternate furrow irrigation had registered comparatively higher values for juice quality parameters like sucrose content, SMT Brix, CCS per cent and Purity coefficient with lesser content of reducing sugar, fibre content and titrable acidity. While with jaggery quality, the above methods of irrigation had shown numerically higher values for jaggery sucrose, jaggery Brix and jaggery purity. Mulching with trash at 2.5 t/ha had also improved juice and jaggery quality. Trash mulching with either all furrow or alternate furrow irrigation had appreciably increased sugar and jaggery production. The sugar and jaggery yield was drastically reduced in skip furrow irrigation and farmer’s practice without mulching.
