Abstract
CAC-57-11, an upright cane showed the best stand at harvest. CAC 57-76 had very much longer and bigger stalks (374.0 cms and 2.5 cms respectively) than any of the other entries. All College-bred entries were superior in tillering habits to the standard (H37-I953). CAC 57-2 and CAC 57-11 had better juice purities than the other entries while all the College-bred clones gave higher quality ratios (PS/TC) tha H 37-1933. Percentage of sucrose (Pol.) in the juice, cane yield to a hectare, and sugar yield to a hectare were essentially the same for all the entries. CAC 57-12 and CAC 57-11, both maturing in 12 months, flowered profusely, while CAC 57-76 and H37-1933, which matured in 14 months, flowered sparsely.
