Abstract
Abstract: Sugarcane cultivar RB961552 was developed by the Sugarcane Breeding Program of the Federal University of Alagoas, a member university of RIDESA. It was selected for being highly productive, responsive to fertigation and for the high leaf biomass and excellent inter-row closure. It is resistant to brown and orange rust and moderately resistant to leaf scald and smut diseases.
Highlights
During their lifespan, sugarcane varieties tend to show signs of genetic degeneration, caused by several factors, resulting in significant losses in agroindustrial production
Sugarcane breeding has come to play a decisive role in the development of the sugar-energy sector (Santana et al 2017)
Half of the productivity gain is estimated to be a result of sugarcane breeding, due to the continuous replacement of cultivars by other more productive ones (Barbosa et al 2012)
