| A survey of cane variety distribution in fields belonging to various categories of producers has revealed that 90 percent of small-growers exploit late high yielding varieties. For medium to large-growers and for sugar estates percentates are 75 per cent to 60 percent, respectively. The result is that >11000 tonnes of sugar are lost in a normal year because of out-or-schedule harvest. In regions receiving >2000 mm of annual rainfall, one early, rich, high yielding variety, M 52/78 is becoming increasing popular whereas in the lower rainfall areas another variety, R 575 is being gradually adopted. Efforts should be made to exploit in equal proportions, early, medium and late maturing cane varieties. | |
