| Sugarcane clone SRS2000-5-14 is a new open-cross hybrid of RT96-018 variety developed at Suphan Buri Field Crops Research Center in 2000. The selection and yield evaluation has started since 2001 at Sukhothai Agricultural Research and Development Center using sugarcane seedling of 11 crosses, comprising of 3,280 clones. The 1st and 2nd selections were carried out in 2001-2003. Then preliminary yield trials in 2003-2006, standard yield trials in 2004-2008 and regional yield trials in 2006-2009 were conducted. The selection criteria was based on more than 5% higher yield, sugar content (CCS) greater than 12, good ratoon ability and widely adaptation to rainfed area in Lower North Region. The result showed that yield cane of clone SRS2000-5-14 was 18.5... |
