RB005014 - a sugarcane cultivar with high tillering and agroindustrial yield

Abstract

RB005014 was developed for the Brazilian central-south region, for harvesting between July and September and planting on soils that have moderate or higher fertility levels. It has high tillering, high sucrose yield, excellent ratooning ability after mechanical harvesting, resistance to the main diseases and carries the Bru1 gene of brown rust resistance.

RB961552 - Highly productive sugarcane cultivar with fast inter-row closure

“…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). The breeding process is long, requiring on average 8 to 12 years until a more resistant and high-yielding sugarcane cultivar can be released (Barbosa 2018, Carneiro et al 2019.…”

“…The Sugarcane Breeding Program of the Federal University of Alagoas (PMGCA/UFAL) is part of the Inter-University Network for the Development of the Sugarcane Industry (RIDESA), i.e., an association of 10 Federal Universities that develop new improved sugarcane varieties in Brazil (Berton et al 2020, Carneiro et al 2020. This agreement allows the Universities to share the Flowering and Crossing Station of Serra do Ouro (Daros et al 2017, Daros et al 2018, Carneiro et al 2019, Diniz et al 2019.…”

RB036091 - an early-maturing sugarcane cultivar for the Central South of Brazil

“…A group of 10 Federal Institutions of Higher Education in Brazil (UFAL, UFG, UFMT, UFPI, UFPR, UFRPE, UFRRJ, UFS, UFSCar and UFV) form RIDESA, an interuniversity consortium for the development of the sugarcane sector, which is working on the creation of new cultivars (Barbosa et al 2012, Barbosa et al 2015, Carneiro et al 2016, Daros et al 2017, Daros et al 2018, Carneiro et al 2019and Diniz et al 2019. The sugarcane (Saccharum spp.)…”

RB985476 - a sugarcane cultivar with high agro-industrial yield and disease resistance

“…The Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) had a sugarcane breeding program (PMGCA) recognized worldwide and that is part of the the Inter-University Network for the Development of Sugarcane Industry (RIDESA, www.ridesa.com.br). 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, 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.…”
