Abstract

Ripening efficacy of dinitrosocifrol and triacontanol was evaluated on cane maturity applied through irrigation water. These two chemicals could elicit positive ripening response with an increase in pol % cane value ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 unit. No adverse effect was noticed on the top feed quality and growth of successive ratoon crop.
