PREAMBLE Ayub Agricultural Research Institute (AARI) Faisalabad is the premier research organization of the

Punjab Province. It was established in 1962 after the bifurcation of research and education working

under the former Punjab Agricultural College and Research Institute Lyallpur, now called Faisalabad.

The main campus of AARI is located at Faisalabad, whereas the ecological specific research institutes,

stations, sub-stations, testing centers, service laboratories and research farms are located throughout the

province. Its mission is to develop new varieties of crops, technologies for food safety and sustainable

generation of exportable surplus for economic safeguard and value addition.

Ayub Agricultural Research Institute, Faisalabad has been at the forefront in developing sugarcane

production in the country. Research system of Ayub Agricultural Research Institute, Faisalabad has

developed and released 24 sugarcane varieties so far for general cultivation in Punjab. This is a

continuous process keeping in view the ever changing biological scenario as well as the needs of the

sugar industry. Sugarcane varieties developed by AARI's Research System have been widely

appreciated and opted by the sugarcane growers in Punjab. The share of AARI's varieties in sugarcane

cultivation of the Province of Punjab was 92% percent during 2016-17 (CRS , 2017).b

The report in hand is the 4 of Impact Assessment Series. It documents the spread and adoption of th

AARI's sugarcane varieties and assesses the impacts of AARI's sugarcane breeding research in Punjab

from 2000-01 to 2016-17. The results of the study revealed that sugarcane breeding research has

generated enormous benefits during the whole study period. During 2016-17, economic impact of

sugarcane breeding research of Ayub Agricultural Research Institute, Faisalabad was estimated at

Rupees 38 billion. Economic benefits averaged Rs. 15.85 billion per year across the whole study

period.

Sugarcane is an important cash crop of many

agricultural countries including Pakistan. It is a

versatile crop and a rich source of food, fiber,

fuels, chemicals and fertilizers. Every part of

sugarcane plant from top to bottom is utilized in

one form or the other, directly by mankind or the

industry. The crop is of immense economic

importance for the prosperity of the people. Its

importance can be judged from the fact that

sugarcane is cultivated in nearly 115 countries of

the world and produces three forth of the total

sugar in the world.

1.1. Global Sugarcane Scenario1.1.1. Sugarcane Producing Regions

Sugarcane is a worldwide crop and has attained

importance due to its status of a cash crop for

farmers, a sweetener for consumers, strong base

for agro-industrial chemicals and value added

products and renewable energy resources.

Sugarcane, though a tropical plant, is cultivated

in both the tropical and sub-tropical regions. It is

grown in countries within latitudes 37º North

and 32º South of equator. Sugarcane is also being

grown in extreme climates and in areas most

unlikely for its production. Africa and Asia have

relatively higher proportion of sugarcane grown 0 0in 25 -35 latitudes, while sugarcane area in

America and Oceania mostly fall in latitude 0 0

ranges of 20 -25 . This wide spread cultivation is

due to morphological and genetic changes in

sugarcane that occurred because of inter-

breeding among various varieties. Europe has

negligible area under sugarcane. According to

FAO (2016), Americas produces 52.3% of the

world sugarcane followed by Asia (39.9%),

Africa (5.7%) and Oceania (2.2%).

1.1.2. Sugarcane Production

Enhancement in area and production is observed

horizontally as well as vertically during the last

one and a half decade in the world (Table 1.2).

Area increased from 19.59 million hectares to

26.77 million hectares during the mentioned

period. Similarly, production increased from

1258 million tons to 1891 million tons during the

same span of time. Brazil, India, China, Thailand,

Pakistan, Mexico, Colombia and Indonesia were

the main sugarcane producing countries. Brazil stoccupied 1 position in sugarcane production

ndwith 769 million tons while India at 2 position

with 348 million tons followed by China with 123

capita consumption of sugar in the country

increased over time. Per capita consumption of

sugar was 21.77 kg/ year in the year 2000-01 and

25.10 kg/year in 2015-16.

1.2. Sugarcane Production in PakistanBeing an important and high value cash crop of

Pakistan, sugarcane plays an important role in

the uplift of socioeconomic conditions of the

sugarcane growing families. It accounts for

3.4% in agriculture’s value addition and 0.7% in

overall GDP of Pakistan. It has been growing in

this region from the time immemorial and is

attributed to the mighty river Indus and its

tributaries. The region known as Indus

civilization historically had the knowledge of

sugarcane production and the extraction of brown

sugar cakes. In Pakistan, sugarcane cultivation is

confined in parts of coastal area and plains of river

Indus and adjoining rivers in Sindh, Punjab and

Khyber Pakhtoon Khwa.

At the time of independence, sugarcane was

cultivated on 189.4 thousand hectares which

increased to 1217 thousand hectares in 2016-17,

showing six fold increase in sugarcane cultivation

(Appendix I). In 1947, total sugarcane production

in the country was 5.5 million tons with an

average yield of 29.19 tons/hectare. During 2016-

17, total sugarcane production was recorded

73.60 million tons with an average yield of 60.43

tons/hectare. Simultaneously sugar industry has

also developed at fast rate in the country. At the

time of independence, there were only two sugar

mills in Pakistan. Today there are 90 sugar mills

operating in Pakistan. After textile, sugar industry

in Pakistan is the largest agro based industry with

annual crushing capacity of over 6.1 million tons

(PSMA, 2016).

1.3. Sugarcane Production in Punjab Punjab is the main sugarcane producing

province of the country. At the time of

independence, sugarcane was cultivated on133

thousand hectares in Punjab. Total production of

sugarcane was estimated at 3,972 million tons

with an average of 29.73 tons/hectare. During

2016-17, sugarcane was cultivated on 777.78

thousand hectares. Its production accounted for

49.6 million tons with an average of 63.78

tons/hectare. It means during 70 years (1947-

2017) area under sugarcane has increased 5.8

times and its production has increased 12.5 times

while its average has almost doubled during this

period (Appendix II).

1.4. Ayub Agricultural Research Institute (AARI), FaisalabadAyub Agricultural Research Institute, Faisalabad

was established in 1962 after the bifurcation of

research and education working under the former

Punjab Agricultural Research Institute, Lyallpur.

Punjab Agricultural Research Institute, Lyallpur

was established in 1906. Research efforts for

sugarcane varietal yield improvement dates back

to 1934 with the establishment of Sugarcane

Research Station Faisalabad (then Lyallpur). The

research was supervised by the Sugarcane

Specialist, Lyallpur, under the administrative

control of the Deputy Director of Agriculture,

Lyallpur. After independence, sugarcane

research, as a permanent component of the

Department of Agriculture, worked under the

Punjab Agricultural College and Research

Institute, Lyallpur. In 1962, Sugarcane Research

Station became a component of Ayub Agricultural

Research Institute, Faisalabad. In 1977,

Sugarcane Research Station was upgraded to

Sugarcane Research Institute.

Research System of AARI, Faisalabad has

released 24 sugarcane varieties so far for general

cultivation in Punjab including CoL 29, CoL 54,

BL 4, Triton, CP 72-2086, CP 77-400, SPF 213,

CPF 237, HSF 240, CPF 247, CPF 248 and CPF

249. This is a continuous process keeping in view

the ever changing biological scenario as well as

the needs of the sugar industry. Sugarcane

varieties developed by AARI's Research System

have been widely appreciated and opted by the

sugarcane growers in Punjab and other provinces

of the country. During 2016-17, share of AARI's

varieties in sugarcane cultivation of Punjab was

92%.

1.5. Sources and Types of Data Basic data used in this report include variety

wise area of sugarcane in Punjab; additional

yield gain of sugarcane varieties and average

annual prices of sugarcane in Punjab. Data on

varietal distribution of sugarcane crop in Punjab

from 2000-01 to 2016-17 were obtained from the

Directorate of Crop Reporting Service,

Government of Punjab, Lahore. Average price of

sugarcane is the support price of sugarcane

announced by Government of Pakistan for the

Province of Punjab in that particular year. Net

yield gain attributable to an individual sugarcane

variety is the difference between the yield of that

variety and check variety in the breeder's trials.

Data for varietal yield trials for sugarcane

varieties were provided by Sugarcane Research

Institute, AARI, Faisalabad.

1.6. Objectives of the StudyThe study in hand has been devised to:

= Assess the spread and adoption of AARI's

sugarcane varieties in Punjab from 2000-01

to 2016-17.

= Estimate additional sugarcane produced

attributable to the adoption of AARI's

sugarcane varieties in Punjab from 2000-01

to 2016-17.

= Estimate the economic benefits generated by

Sugarcane Breeding Research of AARI,

Faisalabad from 2000-01 to 2016-17.

= Provide feedback to sugarcane scientists

about the acceptance/rejection of their

sugarcane varieties.

1.7. Organization of the ReportIncluding the introduction, report has six

chapters. Chapter 2 describes the origin and

botanical classification of sugarcane. Chapter 3

sheds light over the history of breeding research

CHAPTER

2 ORIGIN AND CLASSIFICATION

2.1. Origin of Sugarcane No one knows exactly how old sugarcane is. The

sugarcane has been known from the earliest

times and is referred to in historical records

going back into remote days of ancient

civilization. However, the original home of

Saccharum officinarum L remained in dispute

until the work of Brandes (1958). Brandes

(1958) exhaustively surveyed the evidence and

concluded that New Guinea is the undoubted

home of the Saccharum officinarum. Brandes

postulated that Saccharum officinarum was

originated in the South Pacific area probably in

the island of New Guinea and was disbursed by

three routes in different epochs. First track of

migration of S. officinarum from New Guinea

started approximately in the year 8000 BC to the

Solomon Island, the New Hebrids and New

Caledonia. Second track of migration of

sugarcane began about 6000 BC and reached

Borneo, Philippines, Java, Malaya and Burma to

India. The third track of migration of sugarcane

was between 500 to1100 AD and reached from

Fiji to Tonga, Tahiti, the Marquesas and Hawaiian

Island. The migrations of sugarcane described by

Brandes (1958) are illustrated in Fig 2.1./

Fig. 2.1 Origin and migration of S. officinarum (After Brandes, 1958)

Westward dispersal of sugarcane took place

from India. Alexander the Great carried it to

Europe on his return from India in 325 BC but

even earlier than that there had been chance of

introduction to Persia, Arabia, and Egypt

(Barnes, 1965). The Persians, followed by the

Greeks, discovered the famous "reeds that

produce honey without bees" in India between

the 6th and 4th centuries BC. The Arabs

conquered Persia and found sugarcane being

grown by 500 AD; they adopted and then spread

sugarcane agriculture. Blackburn (1984) is of the

view that the Islamic conquests of the period 600

AD to 800 AD gave impetus to the westward

movement of S. officinarum by the second route.

Its cultivation spread from India to Iran, then to

Syr ia and eventua l ly to severa l o ther

Mediterranean countries. It was introduced to

Egypt in 710 A.D and continued its westward

journey across Northern Africa reaching

Origin of Saccharum officinarum, derived from S. robustum, which occurred 8000 to 15000 BC

First migration of S. officinarum, beginning about 8000 BC

Second migration, beginning about 6000 BC

Third migration, about AD 500 to 1100

Morocco, then, crossing the Mediterranean to

Southern Spain by 755 A.D and to Sicily in 950

AD. During the Muslim agricultural revolution,

Arab entrepreneurs adopted the techniques of

sugar production from India and then refined and

transformed them into a large-scale industry.

Arabs set up the first large scale sugar mills,

refineries, factories and plantation. Arabs

controlled the European sugar trade. From the thbeginning of the 15 century to the middle of the

th17 century, international trade in sugar was

dominated by Portuguese. The Portuguese

introduced sugarcane in Brazil during the 1530s.

The cultivation of the cane continued its

westward movement: first to Madeira and Sao

Thome, islands off the Atlantic coast of Africa;

then to Fernando Po and Angola and finally across

the ocean to Brazil (Blackburn, 1984). At present

sugarcane is cultivated in 115 countries of the

world.

2.2. Botanical Classification of SugarcaneSugarcane is a perennial grass and belongs to the

genus Saccharum (Linneus, 1753). The genus

Saccharum has its origin from the following

family ancestors:

Family: Poaceae (Gramineae)

Sub-family: Panicoideae

Tribe: Andropogoneae

Sub-tribe: Saccharineae

Group: Saccharastrae

Genus: Saccharum

Besides genus Saccharum, which come under

tribe Andropogoneae, there are nine other genera

namely Miscanthus, Erianthus, Narenga,

Sclerostachya, Miscanthidium, Eccoilopus,

Erichrysis and Imperata (Malik, 2009).

2.3. Saccharum SpeciesAs a result of evolutionary process during natural

course of crosses amongst various genera of

Saccharum, different species were developed.

Generally six species have been recognized

which include: S. officinarum, S. spontaneum, S.

sinense, S. barberi, S. robustum and S. edule. Of

these, S. officinarum, S. sinense, and S. barberi,

are cultivated, while S. spontaneum,S. robustum

and S. edule are wild forms. The brief description

of these six species is given below.

2.3.1. Saccharum officinarum L

This species is used primarily for sugar

production and is often known as the “noble”

cane. No clone of Saccharum officinarum has

been found to grow in the wild. The species in

general has thick, soft, juicy stem with low fiber

having high sucrose contents. The canes have

poor tillering, shallow root system and broad

leaves with self-trashing habit. It lacks resistance,

hardiness and has high individual stalk weight. It

produces good yield of cane and sugar under

optimum conditions, therefore are good for

milling purposes in sugar industry. Being donor

of sucrose genes, the species has been extensively

used as best breeding stock. The species generally

transmits '2n' gametes in inter specific crosses

with S. spontaneum and S. barberi, and normal 'n'

gametes in inter specific crosses. The species in

general is considered to have 2n = 80

chromosomes (Vijaylakshmi, 1967). Many

taxonomists and cytogeneticists have accepted 10

basic chromosome number of this species and

described it as an octaploid or of higher ploidy

level (Roach and Daniels, 1987). Jagathesan and

Ratnambal (1967) are of the view that the species

Saccharum officinarum L is not a simple

ployploid, some varieties have shown variable

number of 68 to 99.

2.3.2. Saccharum spontaneum L

It is the wild ancestor of present day sugarcane

and well known for its large variability alongwith

ecological adaptability (Panje, 1964). The species

is widely distributed over a large geographical 0 o

area in a latitude range of 8 S to 40 N (Mukerjee,

1957). It extends from tropical and sub- tropical

Africa, through the Indian Sub-Continent, South-

East Asia, Malaya, China, Taiwan, Japan,

Indonesian Archipelago, Philippines and New

Guinea (Panje and Babu, 1960). It is highly

adaptable, resistant to diseases, cold and drought.

The specie forms a complex group of wild canes

and has a wide indigenous range from dwarf

bushy types with narrow leaves and thin stalks to

erect broad leafed and thick tall stem. Stalks are

hard pithy or often hollow in center (Malik,

2009). The species has contributed vigor,

h a r d n e s s , t i l l e r i n g a n d r e s i s t a n c e t o

environmental stress and diseases and pest

tolerance to commercial varieties (Naidu and

Sreenivasan, 1987).The species has been

extensively used in nobalization in Saccharum

officinarum and Saccharum robustum. It is rich in

g e n e t i c v a r i a b i l i t y w i t h r e f e r e n c e t o

morphological adaptation and taxonomic

differences in different habitats. The chromosome

numbers vary from 2n=40 to 128. The basic

chromosome number of this species is considered

to be 8 (Chopra, 2014). On the basis of

chromosomes numbers, Panje and Babu (1960)

recognized three sectors of geographic

distribution:

1. The Western Sector (Africa-cum-

Mediterranean region) with chromosome

numbers ranging from 2n = 112 to 128

2. The Eastern Sector (South Asia-cum-

Pacific region) with a range of 2n = 80

to112 chromosomes.

3. The central sector (Indian Subcontinent

with) 2n = 40 to 80 chromosomes.

2.3.3. Saccharum barberi Jesw

Saccharum barberi has its origin in North India

and is commonly known as Indian canes. The

species is named after the name of well-known

breeder C. A. Barber. Barber (1916, 1917, and

1922) made extensive studies of the species and

recognized five groups, based on morphology of

stem, leaf and root. These groups are Sunnabile,

Mungo, Nargori, Saretha and Pansahi (Chopra,

2014). Pansahi group was later on placed under

Saccharum sinense by Jeswiet (1925). Babu

(1990) reviewed these groups and recognized

seven groups: Saccharum barberi, Mungo,

Narenga, Saretha, Katha, Sunnabile and Dhaulu.

These canes are thin stemmed, hard with high

fiber and have vigorous root system. They are

tolerant to extreme temperatures, drought and

water logging. Flowering in these species is

generally sparse and late. Flowers show wide

diversity in fertility ranging from normal seed

setting in Katha to complete sterility in Mungo

group (Ethirajan, 1987).

2.3.4. Saccharum sinense

Saccharum sinense includes Chinese and

Japanese canes, being cultivated in Chinese and

Indian semi- t ropical areas s ince long.

Parthasarathi (1946) was of the view that the

species was originated as natural hybrid between

indigenous forms of Saccharum spontaneum and

Saccharum officinarum. Grassl (1964) postulated

that this species was developed in China-Japan

area by introgression between Saccharum

officinarum and tetraploid Miscanthus. These

canes are hard, thin and fibrous, tall with

relatively broader leaves and used for fodder. The

stems have high fiber content and yield poor

quality juice. Uba, the best known clone of

Saccharum sinense, is thick, soft and sweet and

has been cultivated in China from pre-historic

times.

2.3.5. Saccharum robustum Brandes & Jesw.

ex Grassl

Brandes and Jeswiet were the first to record this

species in 1928 in New Guinea and Melanesia

(Stevenson, 1965). Ten clones were collected and

were named Saccharum robustum by Brandes in

Characteristics

1929. In 1946, Grassl gave a botanical

description of the species and divided it into two

S. robustum proper, typified by 28 NG 251, and

S. robustum f. sanguineum typified by 28 NG

219. Both forms are indigenous to New Guinea

and neighboring islands of New Britain and the

New Hebrides (Blackburn, 1984). The species

occurs in wild but has a much restricted

geographical area. It is confined to New Guinea,

Indonesia and somewhat extended to part of

Philippines. Roach and Daniel (1987) are of the

view that the species has very diverse population

of plants derived from introgression of

Saccharum spontaneum with the genera

Erianthus, Arrundinaceum and Miscanthus in

New Guinea. The growth of canes is vigorous.

Many tillers are formed. Some clones grow to a

height of 10 m. The Stalks are thick, tall and

erect. Stalks are hard and tough with high fiber,

pithy in the center with low quality juice.

2.3.6 Saccharum edule Hassk

Saccharum edule is very similar to Saccharum

robustum in general characteristics. Brandes et

al (1939) was of the view that Saccharum edule

was a mutated form of Saccharum robustum.

Grassl (1967) stated that the species originated

from introgression of Saccharum robustum. At

present the species is regarded as product of

introgression of S. officinarum or S. robustum

with other genera (Roach and Daniel, 1987).

Since, it has swollen and aborted inflorescence, it

is of little importance for breeding work.

2.4. Saccharum Complex

The cultivated and wild species of Saccharum

viz. S. officinarum, S.barberi, S. sinense,

S.spontaneum and S.robustum together with

related genera which hybridize with sugarcane

such as Saccharum erianthus, Saccharum

miscanthus, Saccharum narenga and Saccharum

sclerestachya comprise the basic genetic

resources of sugarcane. These genera form a

closely related inter breeding group and were

named as Saccharin Complex by Mukherjee,

(1957) and later extended by Daniels et al.,

(1975).

Plant breeding is the art and science of changing

and improving the genetic patterns of crop plants

in relation to their economic use, or the

application of genetic principles for improving

plants in relation to their economic use. Plant

breeding was first practiced when man learned to

select the better plants; thus selection became

the earliest method of plant breeding. With the

discovery of sex in plants, hybridization was

added to his breeding technique. As the breeder's

knowledge of genetics and related plant sciences

progressed, plant breeding became less of an art

and more of a science. Modern plant breeding is

based on a thorough understanding and use of

genetics principles (Poehlman, 1987). Plant

breeding is accomplished through many

different techniques ranging from simply

selecting plants with desirable characteristics for

propagation to more complex molecular

techniques.

3.1. Cane Breeding HistorySugarcane has been under vegetative cultivation since prehistoric times. Its improvement during the pre-historic era mainly depended upon variety substitution (Ethirajan, 1987). Brandes and Sartoris, (1936) are of the view that wide varieties of sugarcane in the native gardens of New Guinea were probably themselves products of natural introgression of the local Saccharum species and related genera. The inflorescence of sugarcane was regarded as an unwanted appendage of the stalk. The possibility of breeding in sugarcane was first recorded in 1858 when fertile seed of sugarcane was obtained in Barbados. The seed germination potential was established simultaneously in Java and Barbados by 1886. In 1888, sugarcane researchers in Java produced cane seedlings by cross pollination for the first time (Kakade, 1985). This was a real

landmark in sugarcane improvement and triggered breeding programs all over the world.

3.1.1 Cane Breeding Research in Indo-Pak Subcontinent Research in cane breeding in Indo-Pak Subcontinent s tar ted in 1912 with the establishment of Sugarcane Research Station at Coimbatore with the primary objective of ameliorating the sub-tropical indigenous sugarcane through crosses with the thick, high yielding tropical canes. Dr. Barber was appointed as the pioneer sugarcane breeder. The first deliberate inter-specific cross between S. officinarum (Vellai) with S. spontaneum (Coimbatore) brought unexpected rich rewards in the emergence of the famous sugarcane hybrid Co 205 (Ethirajan, 1987). Co 205 sugarcane variety was released in 1918 and became an immediate success and replaced the indigenous cultivars especially Katha in large areas in the sub-tropical region. The variety brought about revolution in sugar production in India (Venkatraman, 1927; Dutt, 1947). Subsequent varieties from Coimbatore like Co 213, Co 281, and Co 290 etc. became popular commercial sugarcane varieties in many countries. With the success of these new hybrid cane varieties, the work was further intensified. Varieties from Coimbatore spread not only in India but also in other sugarcane growing countries of the world. The above mentioned breeding approach was universally accepted and led to similar efforts in other parts of the world including USA, Hawaii, Mauritius and Australia (Ethirajan, 1987).

3.1.2. Cane Breeding Research in PunjabThe research work on sugarcane development was started as early as 1902 at the Lyalpur Agricultural Farm. The experiments covered varietal, manorial, cultural and irrigational aspects of the crop. Katha local was the first cane

variety of sugarcane to be grown at the farm. In the year 1903-04, two Poona varieties and Tareru of Sialkot were added and compared with Katha. In the year 1909-10, two new varieties of sugarcane namely Dhaullu and Kahu were also tried. Later on two varieties, Suretha and Kansar, were introduced but Katha remained the premier sugarcane variety of the Punjab. The Coimbatore varieties were introduced in the year 1918, which became prominent by the year 1925. The variety, Co. 205 proved superior and out yielded all other varieties till 1930-31. The variety was given out to the farmers for general cultivation in Punjab. Co 205 was replaced by Co 285 in 1932-33.Sugarcane varietal yield improvement research in Punjab started in 1934 with the establishment of Sugarcane Research Station at Lyallpur (now Faisalabad). For a number of years, it functioned as a scheme of the Imperial Council of Agriculture Research. The research was supervised by the Sugarcane Specialist, Lyallpur, under the administrative control of the Deputy Director of Agriculture, Lyallpur with a meager provision of budget and staff up to 1945-46. The station was gradually strengthened with staff and funds. After independence sugarcane research, as a permanent component of the Department of Agriculture, worked under the Punjab Agricultural College and Research Institute, Lyallpur. In 1962, Sugarcane Research Stat ion became a component of Ayub Agricultural Research Institute, Faisalabad. In 1977, Sugarcane Research Station was upgraded to Sugarcane Research Institute.Till independence, the breeding work was confined to variety testing for “Coimbatore canes” for the western part of the Punjab. One good variety Co 312 was released during 1934-35 for general cultivation in Punjab and remained top yielder and the most popular variety till 1954. Later on, three well known commercial varieties like CoL 29, CoL 44 and CoL 54 were evolved from Coimbatore fuzz and were approved for commercial cultivation in Punjab.During 1952-53, experiments on true seed

production were taken up under artificial conditions of light at Faisalabad and also at the same time under natural conditions in Murree Hills. The work at Faisalabad was abandoned after 4-5 years of testing when some varieties showed promise of producing viable fuzz in Murree Hills. A cane flower station was established in Murree Hills during 1953-54. Some varieties gave sporadic flowering, fuzz was not obtained in desired varieties and arrows developed were subjected to extreme climatic vagaries. As such cane fuzz was not much viable. However, two varieties L 116 and L 118 were developed from open pollinated fuzz. Therefore, main reliance has been on fuzz imported from cane breeding stations abroad (Malik, 2009).The fuzz imported form Barbados (West Indies) during 1952-53 helped to produce two commercial varieties viz. BL 4 (1968) and BL 19 (1967). BL 4 became very popular sugarcane variety due to high yield potential and high sugar contents. This variety later became the most favorite variety of lower Sindh and shared 95 % area of total cane cultivation. The other lot of Barbados fuzz received during 1976-80 gave two commercial varieties BF 162 and BF 129. Variety BF 162 widely spread in Southern Punjab and raised the sugar recovery level of sugar industry considerably. The variety BF 129 was approved in Sindh. Similarly, the fuzz imported from Canal Point and Louisiana (USA) started during 1980. This is now the main source of cane variety selection program and has helped release varieties by the name CPF. Sugarcane varieties CPF 237, CPF 243, CPF 246, CPF 247, CPF 248, and CPF 249 were developed from fuzz of Canal Point. Meanwhile, some fuzz was also received from Sao Paulo (Brazil) and the varieties developed have been named as SPF. So, varieties SPF 213, SPF 234 and SPF 245 belong to the fuzz collected from Sao Paulo.Sugarcane varieties had been collected from different local and exotic sources. The varieties were evaluated for their adaptability while testing their performance in various selection stages at the research station and out field trials. Variety,

Triton was approved in 1983 and got popularity among the sugarcane growers of the province. Co 1148, though not approved due to low sugar contents, but it got popularity due to better ratooning and spread in vast area of the province. Cane varieties from Canal Point (USA) CP 43-33, CP 72-2086, CP 77-400 and from Coimbatore (India) CoJ 84 were got approved for commercial cultivation in some specific areas.

3.2 Procedure for Varietal Development at AARI, FaisalabadFollowing procedure is being followed at Sugarcane Research Institute, AARI, Faisalabad for the development of new sugarcane varieties.

Step I: Collection of FuzzSugarcane true seeds (fuzz) are collected from both indigenous (Sugarcane Breeding Sub-Station, Murree) and exotic sources (America, West Indies, South Africa, Brazil, Mauritius, Sri Lanka etc.).

Step II: Sowing of FuzzFuzz is sown on raised beds. The seed beds are kept moist at favorable temperature (25°C) and germination completes within 4-10 days. Each cross is numbered. After 6-8 weeks, nursery is ready for singling.

Step III: Singling of SeedlingsSeedlings are shifted in small earthen pots or polythene bags. Every individual seedling is given due importance because no one knows which would become a variety in future. Each seedling is kept in this form for about 3 months.

Step IV: Shifting of seedlings in fieldWell-developed seedlings from these pots or bags are transplanted in the field along with check varieties. All the cultural and agronomic measures are kept alike during the crop season. Seedlings from each cross are demarcated.

Step V: Seedling selectionFirst stage of selection is started in September next year. Robust and phenotypically superior plants are selected keeping in view, the quality parameters as well as tillering, stalk diameter, inter-nodal length, absence of aerial roots, pith and free of diseases and insect pests. Brix percentage is also recorded with refractometer from top, middle and bottom and its average is computed. Selected superior plants are promoted to Nursery-I for further study and evaluation. Selection number is allotted to the plants accordingly. Each selected clone is planted in single row along with checks in Nursery-1.

Step VI: Nursery-IIn next autumn, clones are selected keeping in view the desirable characters, such as growth vigor, erectness, resistance to frost, lodging, insect pests and diseases and high in brix percentage. After comparing the quantitative and qualitative characters, selected clones are promoted to Nursery-II and planted in two rows by following the augmented design.

Step VII: Nursery-IISame selection procedure is adopted next year for Nursery-II and selected clones are promoted to Nursery-III. Selected clones from Nursery-II are planted in three rows laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), with three replications in Nursery-III.

Step VIII: Nursery-III (Preliminary varietal trial)Next year observations pertaining to germination percentage, number of tillers per plant, number of canes per hectare, brix percentage at three stages, cane yield in tons per hectare and CCS percentage are recorded. A thorough pathological study against major diseases (red rot along-with artificial inoculation, whip smut, red stripe pokkah boeng and sugarcane rust) is made. Similarly entomological studies against major insect pests, especially the borers, are also made. By making coordination on data taken, the selected lines are promoted to semifinal varietal trial. Plantation at this stage is made in plots in 3-5 repeats in next year spring.

Step IX: Semi-final Varietal TrialsData on same aspects are collected while for quality evaluation, analysis of cane juice is carried out in laboratory from October to March on monthly basis. Selected elite lines are promoted to final varietal trial and planting is made in spring of same year.

Step X: Final Varietal TrialsNext year same procedure is adopted but analysis of cane juice is carried out in laboratory from October to March on fortnightly basis. Early, medium and late maturing varieties are got identified. Selected advance lines are used for National Uniform Varietal Yield Trials (NUVYT), Zonal Trials in different localities, Taxonomic, Agronomic (drought resistance, ratooning ability, fertilizers, planting dates, planting geometry, intercropping etc.) and other relevant studies in coming years of a variety is found successful the case of variety is submitted for approval. It takes 10-12 years for variety evolution.

According to Lantican et al. (2005), varietal

releases may be good indicators of research

productivity but they are not necessarily good

indicators of research impacts. If sugarcane

breeding research of AARI, Faisalabad delivers

tangible benefits then varieties released must be

opted by the farmers and be planted in their

fields. This chapter reviews the evidence of the

spread and adoption of AARI's sugarcane

varieties in Punjab from 2000-01 to 2016-17.

4.1: Adoption of AARI's Sugarcane Varieties in PunjabData in Appendix III and Appendix IV present

share of AARI’s sugarcane varieties in Punjab

from 2000-01 to 2016-17. During 2000-01, area

under sugarcane crop in Punjab was 615.5

thousand hectares and AARI's sugarcane

varieties were planted over 41.54% of that area.

BF 162 was found to be the most planted variety

and was cultivated over 9.09% of Punjab's

sugarcane area. However, CoL 54, BL 4, Triton

and CP 43-33 covered 6.32, 5.22, 4.24, and

3.79%, respectively of Punjab's sugarcane area.

Same trend was witnessed in the following years.

During 2001-02, out of 656.81 thousand hectares

of total sugarcane cultivation of Punjab, 48.50%

sugarcane area was occupied by AARI's

sugarcane varieties. Once again, BF 162 was

planted over maximum (11.4%) sugarcane area of

the province. Area under CP 43-33, CoL 54 and

BL 4 was 6.0, 5.6 and 4.70 %, respectively of the

total sugarcane area of Punjab. During the year

2002-03, area under sugarcane crop in Punjab

was 735.31 thousand hectares, out of which

51.34% was under AARI's sugarcane varieties.

BF 162 maintained its popularity as it was

cultivated on 10.30% of Punjab's sugarcane area.

Area under CoL 54, CP 43-33, CP 77-400, BL 4,

and Triton was 4.02, 5.57, 3.16, 4.12 and 5.0%,

respectively of the total sugarcane area of Punjab.

succeeded in attracting sugarcane growers of

Punjab and were planted over 3.27 and 3.88%,

respectively of sugarcane area of the Punjab.

In 2003-04, AARI's sugarcane varieties covered

54.83% sugarcane area in Punjab. BF 162 was

still the largest opted variety as it was cultivated

over 12.53% sugarcane area in Punjab. CP 43-33

was cultivated on 6.76% sugarcane area as

compared to 5.57% in the last year. Other

prominent varieties viz. CP 77-400, CP 72-2086,

and CoL 54 were planted on 5.60, 4.90, and

4.00%, respectively sugarcane area of the

province. However, popularity of Triton

continued to decline as it occupied 3.92% of the

sugarcane area of the province compared to

5.00% in the previous year. During crop year

2004-05, sugarcane in Punjab was planted over

644.7 thousand hectares while 57.41% area was

under AARI's cane varieties. BF 162 continued

to top the popularity charts as it was planted over

12.21% of the sugarcane area. CP 77-400 gained

momentum in this year and was planted over

8.20% of Punjab's sugarcane area. A newly

approved variety SPF 234 started getting

attraction of the sugarcane growers and was

planted on 7.18% of the area. The share of CoL

54, CP 43-33, and Triton in Punjab's sugarcane

cultivation was recorded 3.13, 2.28, and 1.81%,

respectively. The ascending trend of AARI's

varietal dominance continued in the year 2005-06

as AARI's sugarcane varieties were cultivated on

66.79% of the total sugarcane area. BF162 was

still the choice of majority of sugarcane farmers

and was planted over 10.68% sugarcane area of

Punjab. SPF 234 increased its share from 7.18%

in 2004-05 to 9.64% in 2005-06 whereas share of

CP 77-400 decreased to 5.44% in Punjab's

sugarcane cultivation. CoJ 84 performed well and

was grown over 5.76% sugarcane area of Punjab.

During 2006-07, area under sugarcane in Punjab

was estimated at 711.8 thousand hectares. Share

of AARI's sugarcane varieties in Punjab's

cultivation was 71.04%. An unapproved line SPF

238 dominated the sugarcane fields by covering

17.51% of the area followed by SPF 234 covering

10.28%. BF 162 markedly lost its popularity

amongst sugarcane growers as its share decreased

from 10.68 to 8.93%. Similarly, the share of CP

77-400, CoJ 84 and CoL 54 was reduced this year

as compared to the previous year and was

recorded 3.52, 2.84 and 2.73%, respectively.

Crop year 2007-08 witnessed the same trend.

Share of AARI's varieties in Punjab's sugarcane

cultivation was 78.08%. Share of SPF 238

decreased to 16.29% while cultivation of SPF 234

increased to 19.47% in the total sugarcane area of

Punjab. BF 162 was planted over 9.05%

sugarcane area. HSF 240 and CP 77-400 were

cultivated over 5.72 and 4.55%, respectively of

sugarcane area in the province. In 2008-09,

sugarcane was cultivated over 666.5 thousand

hectares in Punjab, out of which 79.36% area

was planted with AARI's sugarcane varieties.

SPF 234 showed complete supremacy over all

other sugarcane varieties by covering 22.34% of

the area in Punjab. HSF 240 became the second

most cultivated sugarcane variety in Punjab. Its

share increased from 5.72% in 2007-08 to

14.15% in 2008-09. Share of SPF 238 decreased

sharply from 16.29 to 7.35%. The share of BF

162 was further decreased and was cultivated

over 5.77% sugarcane area only. However, CP

77-400 maintained its share at 5.59%.

In the next couple of years, AARI's sugarcane

variet ies occupied 82.49 and 86.81%,

respectively of the total sugarcane area in

Punjab. SPF 234 variety followed the same

trend. Its share in Punjab's sugarcane cultivation

was recorded 24.08% in 2009-10 and 27.94% in

2010-11. HSF 240 also gained popularity among

sugarcane farmers. Its share in total sugarcane

area of Punjab was 16.81% in 2009-10 and

20.23% in 2010-11. SPF 234 and HSF 240

showed complete supremacy over all other

sugarcane varieties in 2011-12. In Punjab,

sugarcane was cultivated over 761.2 thousand

hectares and SPF 234 and HSF 240 jointly

covered 50.82% of that area. Share of AARI's

sugarcane varieties in Punjab's total sugarcane

area was found to be 83.64%. Share of CP 77-

400 and BF 162 was recorded 7.02 and 2.29%,

respectively in the total sugarcane area of

Punjab.

During 2012-13, sugarcane in Punjab was

planted over 767.7 thousand hectares and share

of AARI's sugarcane varieties in that area was

recorded 89.62%. Once again, HSF 240

dominated all other sugarcane varieties. Its share

was recorded 33.95% in the total sugarcane

cultivation of the province while SPF 234

maintained its share at 25.31%. Share of CP 77-

400 was recorded 7.27% while 3.85% sugarcane

area was covered by CP 43-33. The crop year

2013-14 witnessed the same trend as out of a total

area of 756.8 thousand hectares, 92.57%

sugarcane area of the province was under AARI's

varieties. HSF 240 remained the first choice of

majority of the sugarcane growers of Punjab. Its

share in total sugarcane cultivation was 33.96%.

Like previous year, SPF 234 maintained its

popularity among sugarcane growers as its

cultivation was recorded 31.23% of the total

sugarcane area. Share of CP 77-400 was reduced

to 6.26% while CP 43-33 was able to maintain its

share at 2.94% in the total sugarcane cultivation

of the Province.

AARI's sugarcane varieties showed complete

dominance in 2014-15 and were planted over

94.42% of sugarcane area of Punjab. Once again,

HSF 240 and SPF 234 dominated the sugarcane

fields as they jointly accounted for 72.09% of the

sugarcane area of the province. Share of CP 43-33

in Punjab's total sugarcane cultivation was

estimated at 2.96%. During 2015-16 and 2016-

17, plantation of sugarcane in Punjab was 705.38

and 777.78 thousand hectares, respectively. The

contribution of AARI's varieties in Punjab's

sugarcane cultivation was 92.44% in 2015-16 and

91.69% in the year 2016-17. HSF 240 and SPF

234 were the most popular sugarcane varieties in

the province. Share of HSF 240 in the crop years

2015-16 and 2016-17 was 36.0% and 32.14%,

respectively while share of SPF 234 was 35.26%

in the first year and 34.54% in the second year.

The analysis undertaken in study revealed that

sugarcane varieties developed by AARI's

research system were widely adopted by the

sugarcane growers of Punjab. During the whole

study period, AARI's sugarcane varieties covered

41.54 to 94.42% sugarcane area of the province.

Benefits associated with sugarcane breeding

research may be categorized as yield benefits

and non-yield benefits. Yield benefits measure

the value of additional sugarcane produced

attributable to sugarcane breeding research.

Non-Yield benefits do not show up in the form of

increased sugarcane yields and include:

improvement in cane quality, improvement in

sugar contents, improvement in quantity and

quality of by-products, reduction in the usage of

chemicals to control insects/pests and diseases

and reduction in crop growth cycle. Non-yield

benefits could be very important and sometimes

they actually exceed the value of yield benefits

(Lantican et. al 2005). This study is devised to

estimate only the yield benefits attributed to

sugarcane breeding research of Ayub

Agricultural Research Institute from 2000-01 to

2016-17.

5.1. Estimation of Benefits from Sugarcane Breeding Research The methodology used to estimate the economic

implications of Ayub Agricultural Research

Institute's sugarcane breeding research follows a

rich literature in welfare economics of

agricultural research initiated by Shultz (1953)

and further strengthened by Ayer and Schuh

(1972), Akino and Hayami (1975), Huffiman

and Evenson (1993), Byerlee and Moya (1993),

Alston et al (1995), Heisey et al (2002) and

Lantican et al (2005). The gross annual benefits

generated by sugarcane breeding research of

Ayub Agricultural Research Institute were

estimated by using Simple Economic Surplus

Model. Lantican et al. (2005) used this model to

assess the impacts of international wheat

breeding research in the developing world from

1988 to 2002.

Following Lantican et al. (2005), annual benefits

generated by a sugarcane variety “i” are

estimated by using Economic Surplus Model of

the following form:

β t = A tY tP ti i i i

where

β t is the value of additional sugarcane i

produced attributable to the sugarcane

variety' i ' in year t

A t is the area planted to the sugarcane i

variety 'i' in year t

P t is the price of sugarcane in year ti

Y t is net yield gain attributable to the i

sugarcane variety 'i'. Net yield gain attributable to

an individual sugarcane variety is the difference

between the yields of variety “i” over check

variety in the breeder's trials. Using relative yield

performance data from sugarcane variety trials is

implicitly assumed that actual producer yields are

equivalent to sugarcane variety trials yields in the

breeder's experiments. Barkley et al. (2008)

argued that although the absolute level of

producer yie ld may be over s ta ted by

experimental yield data, the relative yields

between varieties are likely to be similar in both

experimental and producer fields. Brennan

(1984) concluded that the only reliable sources of

relative yields are variety trials.

15328.04 million in economic benefits. HSF 240

added sugarcane of worth Rs. 12431.52 million.

CP 77-400 added Rs. 1842.33 million in

economic benefits. HSF 242 and SPF 245 added

additional sugarcane of worth Rs. 1129.27

million and Rs. 913.98 million, respectively.

Farmers of Punjab were able to harvest

additional sugarcane of worth Rs. 838.35

million, Rs. 640.61 million and Rs. 307.65

million by planting AARI's sugarcane varieties

CPF-237, CPF-243, and CP 43-33, respectively.

In 2016-17, additional benefits attributed to

AARI's sugarcane varieties were of worth Rs.

37.80 billion. SPF 234 remained the highest

contributor among all the AARI's sugarcane

varieties. Its economic impact on Punjab's

economy was estimated at Rs. 16958.68 million

which was highest during the whole study period.

HSF 240 added Rs. 12531.13 million and CP 77-

400 added 2638.41 million in economic benefits.

HSF 242 and CPF 237 added additional

sugarcane of worth Rs. 1739.69 million and Rs.

1266.44 million, respectively in Punjab.

Sugarcane growers of Punjab harvested

additional sugarcane of worth Rs. 671.86 million,

Rs. 243.73 million and Rs. 241.13 million by

planting AARI's sugarcane varieties CPF-243,

SPF-213 and CP 43-33, respectively.

The analysis undertaken in this study revealed

that sugarcane breeding research of Ayub

Agricultural Research Institute continued to

generate enormous benefits throughout the whole

study period. Additional sugarcane produced in

Punjab attributable to AARI's research system

was estimated at 5104 thousand tons annually.

Economic impact of AARI's sugarcane breeding

research in Punjab averaged Rs. 15.84 billion

annually from 2001-01 to 2016-17.

6.1: Summary Ayub Agricultural Research Institute (AARI),

Faisalabad established in 1962 after the

bifurcation of research and education working

under the former Punjab Agricultural Research

Institute. Research efforts for sugarcane varietal

yield improvement dates back to 1934 with the

establishment of Sugarcane Research Station

Faisalabad (then Lyallpur). So for AARI,

Faisalabad has released 24 sugarcane varieties.

Sugarcane varieties developed by AARI's

Research System have been widely adopted by

the sugarcane growers in Punjab and other

provinces of the country. The study in hand has

been devised to assess the spread, adoption and

impacts of AARI's sugarcane varieties in Punjab

from 2000-01 to 2016-17.

The results of the study revealed that AARI,

Faisalabad has clearly been the leading

organization working in sugarcane yield

improvement research in Punjab. The sugarcane

varieties developed by AARI's research system

covered 92% sugarcane cultivation of Punjab in

the last year of analysis. Varietal yield

improvement research of Ayub Agricultural

Research Institute, Faisalabad continued to

generate enormous benefits thought the whole

study period.

6.2. Conclusions1. Share of AARI's sugarcane varieties in

Punjab's sugarcane cultivation remained

between 41.5 to 94.4 percent throughout the

whole study period.

2. SPF 234 ruled over the sugarcane fields of

Punjab from 2004-05 to 2016-17. Its share in

sugarcane cultivation of Punjab remained

between 7% and 35.26% during these years.

3. HSF 240 gained popularity among sugarcane

growers during 2006-07. Its share in Punjab's

total sugarcane cultivation was 2.35 % in

2006-07 and 32.14% in 2016-17.

4. Additional sugarcane produced due to the

adoption of AARI's sugarcane varieties

remained between 2022.5 thousand tons and

8401 thousand tons annually during the whole

study period. On an average, sugarcane

growers of Punjab harvested additional 5104

thousand tons sugarcane annually by

adoption of AARI's sugarcane varieties.

5. Economic impact of AARI's sugarcane

varietal yield improvement research ranged

between Rs. 1.9 billion and R. 37.8 billion per

year from 2000-01 to 2016-17.

6. The value of additional sugarcane produced

in Punjab attributable to AARI's sugarcane

breeding research system was estimated at Rs.

15.85 billion annually throughout the study

period.
