Abstract

The process of obtaining, selecting and releasing a sugarcane cultivar in Venezuela is quite complex and takes around 12 years to complete. Even so, the fact of releasing a clone does not guarantee its adoption by producers. A disadvantage of asexually reproduced crops, such as sugarcane, is that once released and multiplied, these cultivars are quickly attacked by different pathogens that limit their useful life.
