Today it was remarkable to visit a Sugarcane field with the officers of JK Sugar Mill Unit 1. I did the identification of Sugarcane varieties and it was quite interesting.

Variety identification is a very interesting and important topic that can only be learned in the field.
Field visits again and again makes you an expert in identifying a variety with few observation.
CPF-253 is a variety that has good growth and high sucrose content (sugar). This variety can withstand the extreme weather conditions of south Punjab, Pakistan.
It has oval internodes, 2 lines of root primordia, and looks like embedded internodes.
