Summary

In short clonal rows of sugarcane the mean weight of adjacent rows contributed significantly to the variance of row weight, mainly because some clones could increase their cane number at the expense of slow-tillering clones. Weight per cane and sugar content were unaffected by competition. Significant correlations were found between sugar content and (a) the rate of leaf appearance, (b) the ratio of fresh weight of leaf blade to fresh weight of joint, and (c) fibre as a percentage of cane fresh weight.
