Breeding and Characteristics Analysis of a New Sugarcane Variety Yuetang 15356
Yuetang15356 was selected from the offspring of cross combination using ROC22 as female parent and HoCP00-1142 as male,which had high yield,high sucrose content and good adaptability.The results of the 14th national regional test of sugarcane during 2018 to 2021 showed that the average cane yield,sugar yield of Yuetang15356 was 99.39 t/hm2,14.82 t/hm2 during the process of one year new plant and two year ratoon in 17 experimental sites,which was 9.67%,9.78%higher than the control(ROC22)respectively.The average sugar content(from Jan.to Mar.)was 15.49%.Among 17 experimental sites,Yuetang15356 showed an increase in cane yield,average sucrose content and sugar yield in Baise,Hechi,Laibing,Liucheng,Kaiyuan and Lingao,and the increase of cane yield and sugar production found in Chongzuo,Guilin,Suixi and Zhangzhou.The characteristics of Yuetang15356 was late maturity,high cane yield,good rooting ability,multiple effective stems,resistance to lodging and smut,good tolerance to cold and drought stress,fast growth in the whole growth period,sufficient tail strength in the later stage and no premature senility.Yuetang15356 has high promotion potential and is suitable for planting in upland slope land and paddy land with medium or above soil fertility.This variety was registered as the National Non-Major Crop Variety in March 2021 with the registration number:GPD sugarcane(2021)440001.
