Selection and Evaluation of Sugarcane Juice Series 2022 in Irrigated Areas

Abstract

This research aims to develop sugarcane varieties with high potential in terms of yield and juice quality from series 2022 began with fertilization, from 12 crossing and 3 open pollination. Then, the selection was done in the experimental plot using the Augmented Randomized Complete Block Design.  Selecting each plant based on its agricultural characteristics, selected from height, shape, number of stalks, diameter, brix, color etc. We obtained 54 sugarcane clones that passed the first selection stage and 17 clones that passed to preliminary trial. The 17 elite clones had an average weight 118 kilograms per row, average height 293 centimeters, average stalk 107stalks per row, average diameter 3.00 centimeters, and  average brix 18.0 degrees brix, while the three standard varieties had  an average weight 113 kilograms per row, average height 291 centimeters, average stalk 102 stalks per row, average diameter 3.15 centimeters, and  average brix 19.0 degrees brix. The 17 elite clones were planted for preliminary trial.
