Abstract
This paper compares crops grown from seedcane derived from tissue culture with conventional seedcane for varieties of NC0310, NC0376, and N.I2. Field trials showed that using tissue culture-derived seedcane did not offer advantages in productivity compared to conventional methods. Additionally, the first ratoon crop from tissue culture-derived seedcane showed higher levels of smut. The study highlights the yield potential of these varieties post-release and the lack of productivity benefits from tissue culture production.
