- Intervention effect Withholding irrigation lowered soil moisture in sugarcane fields, lowest at 60 days.
- Intervention effect Withholding irrigation for longer periods increased top to bottom Brix ratio, Brix and pol of sugarcane juice, highest at 50 and 60 days.
- Intervention effect Withholding irrigation for longer periods increased purity and sugar recovery of sugarcane, highest at 50 and 60 days.
- Intervention effect Withholding irrigation declined reducing sugars in sugarcane juice, lowest at 60 days.
- Intervention effect Withholding irrigation increased estimated sugar yield of sugarcane, with the maximum at 50 and 60 days.
- Recommendation Withholding irrigation for 50 to 60 days is the optimum period to induce maturity in sugarcane if not offset by rains.
- Recommendation The quality of sugarcane should be determined before harvesting to obtain maximum sugar yield.
