| The variations of low molecular weight nitrogenous compounds, including amino-acids, with nitrogen fertilization, variety, growing period, and site, have been examined. Nitrogen fertilization increases the level of these constituents markedly, whilst rainfall and/or response of the crop to nitrogen can also be important. Varietal characteristics are slight compared with these other factors. Organic acids on a field scale gave no marked trends with any of the variables. Unless a cane is abnormal, i.e., the cane is suffering from drought, the role of the amino-acids in sugar manufacture cannot be critical, as their concentration varies far more than the known factory performances, whilst any effect the non-nitrogenous acids have will be fairly constant. | |
