BARONA-RODRIGUEZ, Ayda F. et al. Evaluation of sugarcane cultivars (Saccharum spp.) for panela production in the department of Boyacá, Colombia. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.2, e1298.  Epub 30-Jul-2020. ISSN 0123-4226.  https://doi.org/10.31910/rudca.v23.n2.2020.1298.

In Colombia, the department of Boyacá has one of the highest yields of sugar cane (Saccharum spp.) for panela production. However, producers constantly demand the evaluation of genetic material that could increase the yields per area and the agro-industrial characteristics of the traditional material of greater dominance in the region. In order to estimate cane and panela yields per hectare, cultivars CC 01-1940, CC 99-2282, CC 05-940, CC 03-469, CC 06-791 were evaluated experimentally in the municipality of Moniquirá, Boyacá. Subsequently, commercial milling tests were carried out with the best cultivar in Moniquirá and San José de Pare, Boyacá, together with the control materials from each zone, Caña Buena and RD 75-11, respectively. Experimentally, the cultivar CC 01-1940 stood out with a production of 183.3t/ha of sugarcane (TCH), 24.2 tons of panela per hectare (TPH), as well as a conversion of 13.2% of panela (CP). In a commercial milling test in San José de Pare, it was found that the cultivar CC 01-1940 had a production of 221.9 TCH and 26.1 TPH, surpassing by more than 30 tons of cane and 5.2 tons of panela, for what was reported by RD 75-11. For the municipality of Moniquirá, the cultivar CC 01-1940 obtained 158.5 TCH, 18.5 TPH and 11.6% CP, surpassing the cultivar Caña Buena.
