Popis: SUMMARYMon O45 at rates of 4 and 6 kg./ha. was shown to increase total dry matter in the stem of the sugarcane variety M13/56, optimum response occurring at 9–12 weeks after application. The increase in dry matter was mainly due to an increase in sucrose, since the chemical had no effect on fibre and decreased reducing sugars. The site of action appears to be in the top 16 internodes. Possible modes of action of the chemical are discussed.
