LSU Researchers Develop New High Yield Sugar Cane Variety
LSU botanist Dr. St John P. Chilton and associates advance a Louisiana bred sugar cane, claiming higher sugar per ton and disease resistance. By induc ing flowering and cross breeding from original seeds, researchers evaluate 3 000 stalks each fall and may release the first LL variety in a few years, aiming for 10 to 15 percent higher yield than current CP types.

LSU researchers select sugar cane seedlings for disease resistance
In 1956 about 60 000 plants were grown on 10 acres as researchers at LSU selected 5 000 of the best seedlings for replanting. Dr. Elias D. Paliatseas and colleagues supervise crossing and selection while disease resistance and sucrose content guide choices. Diseases include ratoon stunting mosaic and red rot with substantial yield losses. The program aims to expand Louisiana sugar cane and has international reach as students from major sugar producing countries study at LSU. It takes roughly ten years to develop a new variety and continued improvements follow release.
