Sugarcane Cultivar Descriptive Fact Sheets series

The selection of a sugarcane cultivar that eventually becomes a production success is probably due in equal parts to the cultivar's attributes, word of mouth, gut feeling, and luck. Each fact sheet in this series provides a description of the cultivar and a table of identifying attributes to use as the basis for selection.
