In Egypt, sugarcane is the main crop for sugar production. It is cultivated in 250,574 feddan for delivery to sugar factories in addition to another 61,703 fed. for other purposes. Egypt produced 1,285,000 tons of sugar from cane and beet. However, Egyptian consumption was 2,100,000 tons of sugar in 2003. The gap between the production and consumption was 815,000 tons. Importion costs millions of foreign currency to dose this gap could be reduced if a new cultivar with 10% extra cane yield and sugar content would be grown instead of the current cultivars.
One of the main approaches to overcome sugar shortage in Egypt is the introduction of new sugar crop cultivars with higher yielding potential and superior quality.
The present investigation was carried out at two locations; Kom-Ombo Agric. Res. Sta., Aswan latitude 24° 30” and Abo-Korkas Sugar Company Sta. Farm, El-Minia latitude 27° 41” during the four successive seasons of 2000-2004. The basic materials used in this study consisted of three sugarcane populations imported by Sugar Crops Research Institutes (ARC) as seeds. The materials used were taken from the first ratoon crop of single stools
