“…The sucrose content determines tonnes of sucrose per hectare (TSH). Sucrose content is affected by variety; our results agree with those obtained by Ahmed and Awadalla [23], and are lower than those obtained by Urgesa and Keyata [24] at a harvest age of 12 months in Ethiopia. The length and weight of the sugarcane stem determine the tonnes of cane per hectare (TCH).…”

Newly released sugarcane varieties need to be adapted to various environments. This research was aimed at examining the growth and yield potential of newly released varieties of sugarcane in the first year as plant cane (PC) and the second year as first ratoon cane (RC1) on dry land. The research was carried out at Wedarijaksa station, Trangkil Sugar Mill area, Pati, Central Java in 2019–2021. Four sugarcane varieties were grown using a double rows system, AAS Agribun, ASA Agribun, AMS Agribun, and CMG Agribun and one commercial variety, PSJK 922. Measurements of crop growth were made periodically: yield components at harvest in PC-RC1, and physiological characteristics 5 months after planting. The results indicate that mean tonnes of cane and sugar per hectare between PC and RC1 decreased by 22.7% and 21.0%, respectively, for AAS Agribun, ASA Agribun, and CMG Agribun due to decreased stem weights. AMS Agribun showed the smallest decrease in tonnes of cane (4%) and increase in tonnes of sugar per hectare (2%) from PC to RC1. The highest number of tonnes of sugar in PC was achieved by ASA Agribun (12.8 t ha−1), slightly above PSJK 922 (12.69 t ha−1). The decline in tonnes of cane and sugar needs to be reduced by the continuously improving cultivation techniques. The mean photosynthetic water use efficiency of tested new varieties was 7.46 µmol CO2 mol H2O−1. These research findings provide information on crop performance and can be used as a basis for selecting varieties to be developed in the region. Further studies will be required to test these new sugarcane varieties in a wide range of agroecological zones in Indonesia.

“…This affects the quality and yield of sugarcane, which in turn affects the income of farmers and millers. Similar results were also reported by (Luel Mengistu, [21] , (Urgesa & Keyata, [22], . Brix (total dissolved solids) and pol (sucrose) ratios of sugarcane are essential criteria to evaluate ripe sugarcane quality.…”

Aims: The aim of doing this research was to assess farmer's understanding on the impact of time interval from harvest to mill on sugarcane quality as the basic raw material for sugar production. Study Design: A cross-sectional research design was used Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out from July to December 2023 in Kilombero Valley located in the eastern part of Tanzania, between latitude 7 0 42'42'S and longitude 37 0 00'00'E. Methodology: The study involved two districts Kilombero and Kilosa of which three wards in Kilosa district and one ward in Kilombero were selected, two villages were selected from each ward to form a total of eight villages. A purposeful sampling technique was used to select eighty farmers from 8 villages and 10 employees of Kilombero Sugar Company, forming a total of ninety respondents. A constructed closed and open questionnaire were used to collect information from respondents. The questions were constructed, translated into Swahili and pre-tested and presented to the respondents. The data collected was then coded and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). Results: According to the findings, around 52.5% of those interviewed were aware of the 12- to 30-hour delay in cutting burnt sugarcane. The majority of farmers, around 70%, reported delays in transportation due to poor infrastructures as well as truck breakdown. The time to transport harvested sugarcane was between 12 and 72 hours. Farmers' perceptions of factors affecting sugarcane quality rated delays in processing and transportation as very important factors, delay in cutting burnt sugarcane as an important factor, and large distance and burning of sugarcane as slightly important factors affecting sugarcane quality.The impact of these series of delays, respondents explained, that affect sugarcane quality particularly sucrose losses, weight losses, and consequently affect their income Sucrose was mentioned by respondents as quality criteria for selling sugarcane. About 68.8% of the interviewed respondents, described that percentage of sucrose measured from their harvested sugarcane was between 9 and 11%, and the minority 2% obtained sucrose levels was between 12 and 14%. Conclusion: Farmers' understanding on the impact of the harvest-to-mill gap is critical, as a raw sugarcane provider, frequent training on variables influencing sugarcane quality attributes is required. The government has to place greater emphasis on authorities tasked with delivering extension services to farmers that include Agriculture officers employed by district councils, Sugar Tanzania Sugar Board, Kilombero Sugar Company, and the National Sugar Institute.

A study was under taken during January, 2022–March, 2023 at the Agricultural Research Station, Perumallapalle, Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh, India to evaluate fifteen sugarcane clones including early and mid-late to identify clones with higher shelf life and tolerance to postharvest deterioration and delayed crop harvests. Juice quality parameters determined at 10th, 11th, 12th and 13thmonths of harvest /age and at different time lag intervals of staling (0, 24, 48, and 72 hours showed a linear increase in cane weight reduction regardless of crop age at harvest and staling periods after harvest. Juice extraction (%) also decreased over staling period and delayed crop harvests. Increase in cane weight loss and reduction in juice extraction was significant with increase in staling period. A progressive increase in brix (%), sucrose, purity and CCS in juice was observed up to 11th in early clones and up to 12th months of crop age in mid-late clones and thereafter decreased. Per cent brix (%) showed a linear trend at all time lag intervals of staling regardless of the clones studied. Brix (%) in juice progressively increased from 0 to 72 hours of staling. Sucrose, purity and CCS per cent declined at 48 hrs in early group and at 72 hrs in mid-late clones after harvest. Reduction in sucrose, purity and CCS was significant with increased staling periods. Among the clones 2003V46 (TC), 2016T 7, COA14328, COA20324, COA19322 and 2009V89 were found to be relatively more tolerant to delayed harvest and post-harvest deterioration compared to the popular standard CO86032 and other test clones studied. All these clones have also recorded higher cane yield and CCS yield at harvest.
