RB99395: Sugarcane cultivar with high sucrose content

Abstract

-RB99395 cultivar was developed by the Sugarcane Breeding Program at the Federal University of Alagoas

RB036091 - an early-maturing sugarcane cultivar for the Central South of Brazil

“…A group of 10 Federal Institutions of Higher Education in Brazil (UFAL, UFG, UFMT, UFPI, UFPR, UFRPE, UFRRJ, UFS, UFSCar and UFV) form RIDESA, an interuniversity consortium for the development of the sugarcane sector, which is working on the creation of new cultivars (Barbosa et al 2012, Barbosa et al 2015, Carneiro et al 2016, Daros et al 2017, Daros et al 2018, Carneiro et al 2019and Diniz et al 2019. The sugarcane (Saccharum spp.)…”

RB0442 - drought tolerant sugarcane cultivar

“…The Inter-University Network for the Development of the Sugarcane Industry (RIDESA) is responsible for the development of sugarcane cultivars with improved traits, e.g., a high agro-industrial yield, resistance to the major pests and diseases, high sugar content in different growth periods and high suitability for mechanical planting and green cane harvesting (Barbosa et al 2012, Barbosa et al 2015, Carneiro et al 2015, Carneiro et al 2019, Daros et al 2017and Daros et al 2018. To minimize yield losses due to water deficiency, the Sugarcane Breeding Program of the Center of Agricultural Sciences (CECA) of the Federal University of Alagoas (UFAL), member of RIDESA, has developed a series of cultivars tagged RB (Republic of Brazil), with high agro-industrial yield for harsh conditions (poor soils and water stress).…”

RB036088 - a sugarcane cultivar for mechanical planting and harvesting

“…ridesa.com.br), a framework focused on sugarcane breeding involving 10 Federal Universities (Barbosa et al 2012). Among the main objectives of RIDESA is the development of sugarcane varieties with different maturation periods and satisfactory yields under specific crop management conditions, e.g., mechanical planting and harvesting (Iaia et al 2014;Barbosa et al 2015;Carneiro et al 2015;Daros et al 2015). In south-central Brazil, the harvest of cultivars with medium to late maturity and high yields in mechanical cultivation systems is a challenge, due to the damage caused by the currently used sugarcane harvesting machines.…”
