Abstract RB985476 has a high tillering capacity, excellent canopy cover, high longevity, high agro-industrial yield, medium to low fiber content and high germination capacity after mechanical harvesting. RB985476 is resistant to smut, brown and orange rusts and recommended for harvest in the middle growing season in the south-central region of Brazil.
Highlights
Sugarcane is an important crop for food and bioenergy production
RIDESA is a a network of ten public Federal Universities that have successfully developed sugarcane cultivars adapted to different environments and agricultural managements enabling cultivation in more than 9 million hectares in Brazil (Carneiro et al 2016, Chapola et al 2016, Daros et al 2017, 2018, Carneiro et al 2019)
A new cultivar, RB985476, released by PMGCA/UFSCCar, has high tillering and excellent ratooning ability even under mechanized harvesting. This new cultivar is suitable for mechanical planting and is resistant to major sugarcane diseases
Summary
RB985476 – a sugarcane cultivar with high agroindustrial yield and disease resistance. Monalisa Sampaio Carneiro1*, Roberto Giacomini Chapola, Antonio Ribeiro Fernandes Junior, Danilo Eduardo Cursi, Thiago Willian Almeida Balsalobre and Hermann Paulo Hoffmann
