Abstract excerpt
Evaluating sugar-related traits at different harvesting times is crucial for determining the best times to harvest in order to maximize yield and minimize losses from over-ripening. This study investigated the genetic and agronomic potential of 30 sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) genotypes across multiple growth stages (395–480 days after sowing, DAS) to optimize sugar yield (SY) and processing quality...
