Summary The cation exchange capacity (C.E.C.) in sett roots (30 days) and shoot roots (95 days and 135 days) in six high yielding and five low-yielding hybrid sugarcane varieties was determined and the results are presented. A high positive correlation (r+0.87) was found to exist between sett root C.E.C. and yield of cane in tons/acre. There was no significant difference between the occasions of sampling. The useful role of C.E.C. as an yield index in large scale progeny testing in economic breeding programmes in this crop is indicated.
