Summary

The sugar cane ripener Mon O45, tested on three commercial sugar cane varieties, showed responses depending on variety, time of application, dosage rate and the interval between application and harvest. Age of crop at application appeared to have little influence on the response. The chemical was also shown to have growth inhibiting properties. The possible use of this chemical to increase sugar produced per unit area is discussed.
