Phil 99 1793 Sugarcane: Characteristics
Phil 99 1793 sugarcane is an SRA bred clone sugarcane variety. It is not a registered variety, so the facts here come from its seller and farm sources.
The average and top yields in tonnes per hectare come from the trials each variety went through to be registered with the NSIC, and from what the seed companies say about their own seed.
What farmers harvest today can be different. Newer harvest records, the season, the place, the soil, the water and the care all move these numbers over time.
So use them to compare varieties, not as a promise for your field. Ask your seller or your agriculturist how the variety did on farms near you in the last few seasons.
The facts below come from its seller and from farm sources, each one listed at the end. Compare it with the others in our sugarcane variety finder, or see every crop variety we list. For the crop itself, read our guide: Land preparation for sugarcane.

Where and when to plant Phil 99 1793 sugarcane
Mills pay for sugar, not cane, so compare the sugar yield in LKg per hectare as well as the tonnes of cane. Pick a variety that ratoons well, and one rated against smut and downy mildew, the diseases that cut a ratoon crop short. Before planting, get the field ready with our guide: Land preparation in the Philippines.
