| At the time when flowering is normally induced, long-day treatments on the variety C.P. 36-13 were observed to have an effect on three closely related phenomena. These were the time at which the inflorescence was first formed, the time of emergence of the arrows, and the proportion of arrows formed in each treatment. With regard to flowering habits, a close parallelism was noted betweeen the response of C.P. 36-13 to extra light treatments and the behaviour of different sugar cane varieties in the field. This suggested that long days in the one instance and genetic control in the other might cause different concentrations of a flower-promoting substance. It was concluded that the results of these experiments added further weight to the belief that under natural conditions in Mauritius, floral induction processes take place within critical daylengths. | |
