Post harvest deterioration in upcoming sugarcane varieties
2008
Noonari, B.A.
Two promising sugarcane varieties Q-88 and GT-7 were evaluated for post harvest deterioration in laboratory experiment. Weight of 10 canes in control (cane lifted for milling within 24 hours of harvesting) was 15.91 kg, which was reduced to 15.42 kg and 14.82 kg when harvested cane was left unprocessed for 2 and 4 days, respectively. The weight of 10 canes was further decreased to 13.85 kg when harvested cane was left unprocessed for 6 days, while the lowest weight of 10 canes (12.97 kg) was noted when harvested cane was left unprocessed for 8 days. Variety Q-88 suffered most when its harvested cane was left unprocessed in the field (shaded with thick layer of cane trash) for 8 days. Brix content in control (cane lifted for milling within 24 hours of harvesting) was 21.02%, which was reduced to 20.79% and 20.42% when harvested cane was left unprocessed for 2 and 4 days, respectively.
