Evaluation of mid-late Sugarcane clones for yield, quality and red rot resistance in Zonal Varietal Trials

Data on number of millable cane (x1000/ha), cane length (cm), cane girth (cm), single cane weight (kg), cane yield (t/ha), brix %, sucrose %, CCS % and CCS yield (t/ha). From the results, it could be concluded that the mid-late maturing clone, CoC 13339 was found to be best among the test clones for sucrose % and CCS yield with resistance to red rot disease. Another clone CoC 14337 was the next best entry and it recorded significant higher cane yield and CCS yield over the better standards. Hence, these two clones namely clone CoC 13339 and CoC 14337 may be released as new sugarcane variety for East Coast Zone of India for mid-late season.
