A field study was conducted during Rabi 2015-16 in deep black soil to study the nutrient uptake and millable cane yield of sugarcane as influenced by application of slow releasing nitrogen fertilizers at Agricultural Research Station, Dhadesugur, University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur, Karnataka. Results revealed that, application of 125 % nitrogen through neem coated area recorded significantly higher millable cane yield (125.3 t/ha) and which was onpar with the application of 125 % nitrogen through sulphur coated urea (123.1 t/ha) and application of 125 % nitrogen through coal tar coated urea (121.4 t/ha). Further, these treatments also recorded significantly higher uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. However, zero application of nitrogen recorded significantly least millable cane yield (50.2 t/ha). Results concluded that, application of 125 % nitrogen through either neem or sulphur or coal tar coated urea was best to increase the millable cane yield in sugarcane by increasing the nitrogen use efficiency and by reducing the nitrogen losses.
