Registration of 'CP 11-1314' sugarcane

'CP 11-1314' (Reg. no. CV-196, PI 693071) sugarcane, a complex hybrid of Saccharum spp., was developed through cooperative research conducted by the USDA-ARS, the University of Florida, and the Florida Sugar Cane League, Inc.; it was released to Florida growers in June 2018 for cultivation on organic soils and further recommended in June 2019 for sand soils. This cultivar was derived from a polycross between CP 05-1451 and a mixture of potential pollen donors. CP 11-1314 was selected for release based on high cane yield and acceptable sucrose content. In addition, CP 11-1314 displays good ratooning ability (particularly on muck soils), minimal sucrose decrease following freezing temperatures, and overall disease resistance. CP 11-1314 is positive for the Bru1 locus, which confers resistance to brown rust, and is resistant or moderately resistant to all other sugarcane diseases of concern in Florida, including ratoon stunt disease, leaf scald, mosaic, and orange rust.
