Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

The sugarcane varieties RB975201 and RB975242 were developed and released for harvest at the end of the season (late maturation) in the Central-South region of Brazil. In specific environments, these varieties were compared with commercial standards in sugar yield per area. They are resistant to major sugarcane diseases and present the Bru1 gene of resistance to brown rust.

Key words:
Saccharum spp.; high production; disease resistance.
