Interpretive Summary: New sugarcane cultivars that yield well on organic (muck) soils and mineral (sand) soils and have acceptable resistance to major diseases are important for sustainable sugarcane production in Florida. ‘CP 11-1314’ sugarcane, a complex hybrid of Saccharum spp, was developed through cooperative research conducted by the USDA-ARS, the University of Florida, and the Florida Sugar Cane League, Inc. It was released to Florida growers in June 2018 for cultivation on muck soils and further recommended in June 2019 for sand soil. This new cultivar was derived from a cross between CP 05-1451 and a mixture of potential pollen donors (a polycross). CP 11-1314 was released because of its high cane yield, acceptable sucrose content, and high economic index. In addition, CP 11-1314 displays good ratooning ability, low sucrose degradation following freezing temperatures, and overall disease resistance.

Technical Abstract: ‘CP 11-1314’ (Reg. no. CV-196; PI 693071) sugarcane, a complex hybrid of Saccharum spp, was developed through cooperative research conducted by the USDA-ARS, the University of Florida, and the Florida Sugar Cane League, Inc., and was released to Florida growers in June 2018 for cultivation on organic soils, and further recommended in June 2019 for sand soil. This clone was derived from a cross between CP 05-1451 and a mixture of potential pollen donors (a polycross). CP 11-1314 was selected for release based on high cane yield and acceptable sucrose content (which results in a high economic index). In addition, CP 11-1314 displays good ratooning ability (particularly on muck soils), low sucrose degradation following freezing temperatures, and overall disease resistance. It is resistant or moderately resistant to all sugarcane diseases of concern in Florida.
