Data from: Sugarcane Genotype by Environment interaction (G × E) in Clonal Trials in the U.S. Texas Rio Grande Valley

The file “Texas Data Series 11-14.xlsx” contains field data from breeding plots in the later stage off station farms were used for this study. This included approximately 20-25 experimental genotypes from USDA-ARS at Canal Point (CP and CPCL), USDA-ARS Houma (Ho), Louisiana State University (L), Ho genotypes crossed at Canal Point (HoCP) and 2 check cultivars that were planted at 4-5 locations, and 2 check cultivars that were planted at 4-5 locations. These were planted in 4 planting series (2011 – 2014, hereafter, named as Series 11 to 14 (SERIES)) based on when the clones were received with 3 crops (plant cane-second ratoon) each except 2011 which had 4 crop cycles (plant cane-third ratoon). The years evaluated were 2015-2020. Field trial plantings, harvest and yield data were done according to Todd et al. (2019). Yield data included cane yield or tons cane per acre (TCA), sugar yield or tons sucrose per acre (TSA), and sucrose content or commercially recoverable sucrose or pounds of sucrose per ton of cane (CRS). Each planting series had unique sets of genotypes and locations, so analysis was done by series.

The file “Texas Ratooning data series 11-14” Utilized the same data as in “Texas Data Series 11-14.xlsx” but created the ratooning index for each yield component according to Dlamini et. al (2024).
