The results of over 150 field experiments with sugarcane conducted by the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of Puerto Rico covering a wide range of varieties and soils of Puerto Rico revealed the following: 1. Nitrogen produced an increase in sucrose content with increased cane yields. When the percentage increase in cane tonnage is plotted against the percentage increase in sucrose percent cane, a highly significant regression is obtained. The equation obtained reveals that a significant increase in sucrose concentration occurs only after increases in yields are over 27 percent. 2. Different nitrogen sources, namely, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, and Uramon, produced no significant differences in influence on sucrose ...
