Abstract
Abstract The sugarcane cultivar RB036088 is late-maturing, harvested from September to November in south-central Brazil, and is recommended for soils with medium to high fertility. It stands out with continuously high sugar yield over the harvests, longevity of the ratoon plants, high tillering capacity and can be harvested mechanically.
Highlights
The breeding program of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) of the Federal University of Paraná [PMGCA/Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)] is part of an inter-university network to foster the development of the sugar-energy sector - RIDESA, a framework focused on sugarcane breeding involving 10 Federal Universities (Barbosa et al 2012)
Among the main objectives of RIDESA is the development of sugarcane varieties with different maturation periods and satisfactory yields under specific crop management conditions, e.g., mechanical planting and harvesting (Iaia et al 2014; Barbosa et al 2015; Carneiro et al 2015; Daros et al 2015)
Sugarcane cultivar RB036088 is recommended for planting in medium to high fertility soils, has a high phenotypic stability for the trait tons of sucrose per hectare (TSH), aside from an excellent response to improvements in the production environment
