SUGARCANE VARIETIES PHILSURIN constantly pursues its quest for the ideal sugarcane variety - one that is sweet, high-yielding, resistant to diseases, tolerant to pests and adaptable under varying climatic conditions. This search involves breeding the best high-yielding parent varieties, subjecting their offspring to tough performance tests, and recommending for commercial planting only the most superior strains. Variety Releases There are 2 naming conventions adopted for the varieties released by PHILSURIN. The PS (PHILSURIN Selection) number is a designation used for varieties hybridized by other institutions, but were screened for disease/pest resistance and yield performance by PHILSURIN for several years. This includes the VMC varieties as well as the foreign varieties assembled by PHILSURIN through the CFC/ISO Program or through the variety exchange agreement with other breeding institutions. PHILSURIN maintains the original name of the variety designated by its breeder and assigns a PS number if the variety passed the screening and selection criteria set by PHILSURIN. The PS number connotes PHILSURIN recommendation for the variety after yield performance evaluation. PSR (Philippine Sugarcane Research Institute) is the prefix used for PHILSURIN-bred and selected varieties. PSR 97-45 is the first PHILSURIN-bred variety that was released. Variety Dispersal Released varieties are micropropagated in tissue culture laboratories and/or propagated in nurseries of the MDDCs. PHILSURIN has a tissue culture laboratory with a capacity of 40,000 planters per week. Other tissue culture laboratories funded by PHILSURIN have production capacities of 5000 to 10000 plantlets per week. Micropropagated plantlets are allocated to various MDDCs where the plantlets are acclimatized and hardened for nursery planting and propagation. Setts produced from these nurseries are distributed to growers. PHILSURIN also propagates new varieties in the field nurseries of various MDDCs using hot water treated canepoints and cutbacks. Most of these nurseries are run by the MDDC Coordinators. MDDC coordinators offer a quality assurance that each planting material released has been hot water treated or came from a nursery planted with disease-free setts. Setts produced from these nurseries are distributed to growers.
