Varieties

The sugarcane quarantine station "Visacane" imports every year about 100 sugarcane varieties from various producing countries. These are commercial varieties, new promising varieties in final stage of selection, varieties under selection, or various genetic resources. The planting material is monitored and treated (fungicide and insecticide treatments, hot water treatment) during two growth cycles. After two years of quarantine in Montpellier, about 100 varieties are transferred as healthy cuttings to different CIRAD partners throughout the world: sugar-growing companies, sugarcane breeding stations and other research organizations.
