Breeding of Sugarcane (Saccharum Spp.) Cultivar Yuetang 02-305
The objective of this paper was to introduce the breeding process of a new sugarcane cultivar, Yuetang 02-305, and its agronomic character, stem yield, sucrose content, and disease and abiotic stress resistance. Yuetang 02-305, with high stem yield, high sucrose content and good adversity resistance was successfully bred using Yuenong73-204 and CP85-384 or CP92-624 as female and male parents after 9 generations’ selection based on agronomic, sugar traits, and yield traits. It exhibited the high sugar yield and maximum stem yield at 15050.11 kg/hm2 and 104080.95 kg/hm2 in the national regional and production test, respectively, and it is one of the most suitable sugarcane varieties in the major sugarcane growing areas.
