| Ratoon decline is of major concern to cane growers in Mauritius (20 degrees S and 57 degrees E), and a more rapid decline is expected in fields where chemical ripener is applied repeatedly, although the benefit derived from the practice is known and accepted by growers. Commercial fields were sprayed with the chemical ripener Fusilade Super (fluazifop-butyl), from the plant crop for four consecutive years and the cane productivity measured. Three of the four varieties tested in six trials did not show a more rapid yield decline when the treated plots were compared with the untreated control, irrespective of whether the crops were irrigated or not. The slightly faster decline observed in the fourth variety could not be attributed solely to the Fusilade Super treatment. | |
