Growth dynamics and development of four sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) varieties: physiological and sugar aspects
Main Article Content
Abstract
Ciego de Avila Sugarcane Research Station. A randomized
block design was employed with four treatments (sugarcane
varieties: C1051-73, CP52-43, C323-68 and My5514) and four
repetitions. Biomass, leaf area, fresh weight, juice brix, juice
pol and juice purity were evaluated. Results showed that tested
varieties had very similar maturation. The two varieties with
the best behavior were C1051-73 and C323-68 whereas the
worst one was CP52-43. My5514 (a nonsugar variety caused
by its high content of fiber and small amount of millable stalks)
had an intermediate position. No significant differences were
recorded among juice quality-characterizing variables. The
most efficient variety was C1051-73 and the least efficient
My5514, but without significant differences.
