Living the Dream: Sugarcane Variety L 01-299

By Kenneth Gravois, LSU AgCenter

One important sugarcane variety, L 01-299, came about through the efforts of AgCenter sugarcane breeders Kenneth Gravois and Keith Bischoff. The process began with a cross between L 93-265 and LCP 85-384, a commercial variety that once commanded 91 percent of the Louisiana sugarcane acreage in 2004.
