Abstract


The economic yield of sugarcane production is given by sucrose, and non reducing sugars used to make molasses and also fiber, which can be used as an energy source for the plant. The physiological stage of the sugarcane that provides an economic return is maturing, and this can be seen from two different viewpoints: the botanical and physiological. Thus, this study aims to address different aspects of the physiology of the culture of sugar cane in terms of sucrose accumulation, maturation and flowering.
