The study looked at how different traits in sugarcane plants are related to the overall yield of sugar. They found that the weight of each individual cane, the number of canes per plant, and the height of the canes were all linked to the final yield. The most important factors influencing yield were the number of canes per plant and the weight of each cane. In addition to these traits, the height of the canes, the length between joints, and the quality of the juice should also be considered when choosing which plants to grow in certain conditions.
