Field performance of artificial seed-derived sugarcane plants
2003
This study shows the behaviour of sugarcane plants cv. CP-5243 derived from artificial seed compared with traditional and isolated bud methods. Artificial seed-acclimatised plants were planted in field conditions simultaneously with two-control treatments previously germinated: macropropagated plants derived from stems of three buds and axillary buds isolated from field-grown plants. Plants from artificial seed were taller and had a smaller diameter at 8 months, but these differences disappeared at 12 months. With respect to sugar analysis and yield, no differences in all parameters evaluated were found between artificial seed-derived plants and plants derived from the two other methods.
