Research Project: Evaluation of CP Cultivars for Yield Parameters and Disease Susceptibility in Guatemala

Location: Sugarcane Field Station

Project Number: 6030-21000-006-025-T
Project Type: Trust Fund Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Nov 1, 2016
End Date: Oct 31, 2021

Objective:
Develop sugarcane clones with high-yielding disease-resistance potential for evaluation of sugar production.

Approach:
Sugarcane seedlings will be produced from high-yielding disease-resistant parental clones with wide adaptation. Superior clones with high vigor, growth, and freedom from diseases will be selected and established in yield trials to identify superior clones.
