Two new varieties of sugar cane resulting from the eRcane selection process were officially presented on November 22. They were named R589 and R590, the letter R designating their Reunion origin.
The first is more particularly suited to irrigated areas and coastal areas in the North and East., the second in the fields of Hauts de l’Est. The strategy of Reunion breeders consists of offering canes that are particularly suitable for one of the growing areas of the island.. On the occasion of their launch, the new Carocanne 2 platform.0 was presented : it presents the information distributed by the magazine online Dear Canne, published by the Réunion Association for the Development of Agricultural and Sugar Technology and which for twenty years has relayed messages of good farming practices to cane producers.
