Sugarcane is one of the main cash crops used for production of sugar on large scale and other by products like ethanol. Sugar is a product which is largely consumed by the people and with the increasing population; the consumption rate will be increased. To fulfil the consumption needs enhancement in sugar production could be done by enhancing either yield or production. This will be achieved by using the proper method and procedure of seed during planting. Techniques like bud chip transplanting, spaced transplanting could be beneficial in this aspect. Also usage of disease free cane seed through various effective treatments will also help in increasing the production. Besides multiplication of better yielding commercial varieties through three tier system developed by Indian Institute of Sugarcane Research, Lucknow is like an icing on the cake for enhancing yield and productivity through increased seed production. Thus this review paper highlights on the methods, procedures and techniques required for increased seed production with higher quality.
