Abstract: A new sugarcane variety,Mintang 93-119,was bred and selected from the crosses of Ganzhe 65-542 xROC1 by the Sugarcane Research Institute at Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences.Mintang 93-119 had the desirable characteristics of high yield,mid-to-early-season maturation,high sucrose content,broad adaptability,high germination rate and desirable tillering ability.Data collected from 20 experiments carried out in the past 13 years showed that the average cane productivity,sucrose content and sugar yield of Mintang 93-119 were 112.94 t/hm2,15.3% and 17.19%,respectively.Compared to Mintang 70-611,ROC10 and ROC16,the new variety's cane productivity increases were 35.8%,52.2% and 11.8%,respectively;the percentage increases of the sucrose content were 1.28,0.38 and 0.52,respectively;and,the sugar yield improvements were 47.7%,55.3% and 15.1%,respectively.This new Mintang 93-119 variety was found suitable for growing on dry slops or irrigated dry land of moderate or higher fertility.
