Abstract (AB)Three sugarcane ripeners have been evaluated in Mauritius: Ethrel, Racuza and Polaris. Polaris has been shown to increase sucrose content of immature canes. The response depended on the variety, time of application, dosage rate and interval between application and harvest. This chemical was also shown to have growth-inhibiting properties. Ethrel and Racuza have not increased sucrose content or sugar yield under Mauritian conditions.
