摘要
A study was undertaken with three profuse flowering varieties Co 740, Co 7219 and CoC 671 and three non-flowering varieties Co 62175, Co 6907 and Co 997 to investigate the effect of flowering on cane weight, sucrose per cent juice, fibre per cent and pithiness till three months after flowering. The single cane weight reduced slightly with age after flowering, while the sucrose per cent juice was not affected until after 3 months of flowering. The fibre content increased only marginally in the flowering varieties by the third month after flowering. However, no definite trend in the fibre content was observed in the non-flowering varieties. No significant variation in the pith content among the varieties was noticed until three months after flowering.
