Abstract (AB)	The effects of plant age and time of harvest were investigated in varieties M93/48, M442/51, M377/56, M13/56, M351/57 and S17 grown in five contrasting environments. Both factors were shown to affect fresh weight yield and IRSC; time of harvest was dominant while age had maximum effect late in the season. Strong interactions on sugar yield were found between date of harvest and environment for the six varieties. The agronomic implications of these results are discussed.
