Abstract

Sugarcane is an economically important agro industrial crop and propagated conventionally by setts, however, low propagation rates, its time demand, huge land requirement and potential transmission of pathogens through seed cane from generation to generation are the major limitations of conventional propagation. The ultimate objective of this review is the effect of propagation method for increasing yield by reducing varietal deterioration. In vitro propagation is the best alternative to overcome such limitations to produce disease free and sufficient amount of planting material. Micropropagation is however a very sensitive technique, which requires aseptic condition in each stages (0-4) namely mother plant establishment, initiation and establishment of aseptic culture, multiplication, rooting, and acclimatization. This can be concluded that knowledge is needed regarding sensitivity of work for contamination and the economical importance of tissue culture to support the conventional propagation. This will allow the sugar industry estates to produce sufficient planting material within short period of time and cost effective.
