Sugarcane breeding: X. Evaluation of clones obtained by hibridization in 1981 and selected in Jaú region, state of São Paulo, Brazil

Seven sugarcane clones obtained from crosses made in 1981 in Camamu, State of Bahia, were evaluated in a trial in Jaú region. In the trial, started in February, 1988, it was used a randomized complete block design with six replications. Statistical analysis for cane and sugar yield (t/ha) and sugar content (pol% cane) were performed with five harvest means. It was presented evaluation data of number of stalks, fibre% cane and flowering intensity. According to these characteristics studied comparatively to five varieties used as control, IAC67-112, NA56-79, SP70-1143, SP71-1406 and PO77-102, the clones IAC81-3041 and IAC81-3049 showed be promising and in condition to be included in varietal management studies for others regions of the State of São Paulo, Brazil.
