RB965902 and RB965917 Early/medium maturing sugarcane varieties

Abstract

-The varieties RB965902 and RB965917 were developed for harvesting at the beginning to the middle of the sucrose extraction period (early/medium maturity) and released for the South-Central region of Brazil. In specific environments, the tons of Pol per area (sucrose yield) of these varieties is higher than of the commercial standard RB855453 and they are resistant to the main diseases of the crop.

RB975952 - Early maturing sugarcane cultivar

“…Clones were evaluated in plant-cane, and in first and second ratoon cycles, based on the same criteria as in stage T1, together with the parameters stalk weight per plot and kilogram of brix per plot -KBP (Kang et al 1983). The third selection stage (T3) and final experimental stage of selection (FE) were carried out according to Carneiro et al (2011). The variables evaluated were cane yield (TCH), sucrose content (PC in %), tons of pol per hectare (TPH -sucrose yield), and fiber content (%).…”
