Information sheet : Assessing the sugar content of a crop for managing the harvesting sequence
Abstract
The Commercial Cane Sugar (CCS) of a crop can vary due to
the variety; age of the crop; arrowing; and moisture; nutrient;
or temperature stress. Growers can use a refractometer prior
to each harvesting round to enable them to select blocks to
harvest with potentially higher CCS to maximise whole-farm
sugar yield.
