Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the findings of a study involving the testing of new sugar cane varieties as replacements for the commonly cultivated varieties in Louisiana. By comparing the yields of the old varieties during three calamitous years with the favorable performance of the new varieties, it demonstrates the wisdom of substituting the latter. It also investigates serious disadvantages possessed by the new canes and includes a brief outline of the comprehensive varietal testing project lately inaugurated in Louisiana in cooperation with the State agricultural experiment station. The main focus of this book is on presenting preliminary data on a number of the imported varieties which had been increased sufficiently to be included in comparative plot tests during the crop year 1925â"26. The author presents the results obtained on plant cane only during an unusual season, emphasizing that several years of study of these canes, whose chief merit in other countries has been their long ratooning record, are needed before final judgment can be made. Ultimately, this book aims to establish the best yielders among the new varieties, as well as to study their agricultural and chemical characteristics, examining disease resistance, tonnage, and sucrose content to present a solution to the declining yields in Louisiana's sugar industry.
