High-yielding sugarcane varieties thrive under water logging conditions, boosting commercial sugar production.
The study looked at different types of sugarcane to see how they grow in waterlogged conditions. They found that some types of sugarcane were better at handling waterlogging than others. The number of tillers and sucrose percent were linked to higher cane yield. More millable canes and commercial cane sugar yield were also connected to higher yields. Quality traits like juice purity and sugar content had a big impact on cane yield. To grow high-yielding sugarcane in waterlogged areas, it's important to focus on traits like number of millable canes, cane weight, juice purity, and sugar content.
