Comportamento agroindustrial de genótipos de cana-de-açúcar no Estado de Pernambuco

Abstract

Brazil is of the most traditional producers of cane sugar, whose culture is deployed in various soil types and under the influence of different climates, resulting in various types of environments with which it interacts. As for the agronomy, the culture of sugar cane has an excellent development, a result of the timing between the technology involved in growing and favorable climatic conditions. Through the methodology, this work aimed to study the micro-center of the state of Pernambuco, the behavior of clones and varieties of cane sugar in the breeding program of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco - UFRPE / RIDESA analyzing aspects agro-industrial productivity, as well as assessing genotype x environment interactions, estimating the magnitude of some genetic parameters and based on the analysis of economic return, prepare a recommendation for use of superior materials. The experiment was conducted at the microregion area of Pernambuco Center, Plant Petribú premises, located in the municipality of Lagoa de Itaenga - PE during the agricultural years 2005/2006, 2006/2007 and 2007/2008. We used randomized complete block design with four replications, using 11 varieties and 15 clones have already been exploited commercially. Agrotechnological variables were evaluated tons of cane per hectare (TCH), tons of sugar per hectare (TPH), pol% corrected (PCC), fiber (FIB), purity (PZA), soluble solids (Brix) and total sugar recoverable (ATR). Analysis were performed by cutting individual and joint of the three cuts (plant cane, first ratoon crop and second ratoon crop) to the beginning, middle and end of harvest, also some estimating genetic parameters and their averages grouped by Scott & Knott test (1974). Finally were performed to analyze the economic return of the materials under study.
