Modern sugarcane cultivars are derived from two main ancestral species: Saccharum officinarum, which is the main source of high sucrose levels, and S. spontaneum. Only a small number of clones of either species have ever ...
Analysis of sugarcane productivity trends in the wet tropics at a district level : SRDC final report
(2001)
This project provided an in-depth re-analysis of district level data for cane yield, sugar content, and sugar content per hectare for the mill districts of Mulgrave, Babinda, and Tully and an evaluation of the estimates ...
