Abstract

The ripening of sugarcane is influenced by weather conditions, crop variety and practice. Harvesting ripe sugarcane reduces transportation costs and increases industrial efficiency and alcoholic fermentation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of organic fertilization with poultry litter on sugarcane ripening and juice quality. We used first and second regrowth of sugarcane variety RB867515 grown in medium-textured soil. The study was conducted in the city of Viçosa, state of Minas Gerais (MG), Brazil. The experiment was a randomized complete block design with four replicates. The treatments consisted of three doses of poultry litter (7.0; 10.0 and 13.0 t of dry matter ha/yr), chemical fertilization (180 kg N + 225 kg K ha/yr) and a control (no chemical or organic fertilization). In both years, sugarcane was harvested in early August. There was no influence of poultry litter fertilization on sugarcane ripening and juice quality. The average contents of soluble solids, sucrose in juice, stalk fiber and juice purity were respectively 22%; 19% and 88%.
