Agent for improving sugarcane brix and method of promoting sugarcane ripening using the same

Abstract

It is intended to provide an agent for improving sugarcane Brix which increases the sugar productivity from pressed juice after harvesting and promotes ripening when applied to sugarcane and, therefore, by which a sugar yield comparable to sugarcane harvested at the best harvest season can be established even from sugarcane before reaching the harvest season, which comprises at least one member of the compounds represented by the following general formula (I) [wherein A represents an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or a hydroxymethylene group; Y represents a carboxyl group, an alkyloxycarbonyl group, a halogenated methylsulfonylamino group or a diphenylmethylideneiminoxycarbonyl group, either in a free form or forming a salt; and R represents a halogen atom, an alkyl group, a hydroxy-, alkoxy-or alkoxyiminoalkyl group or a 4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yloxy group, or Y and R may be bonded together to form a group -C(=O)-O-CH(CH3)-beta [chemical formula1].

Description

technical field The present invention relates to a sugar content increasing agent for promoting the growth of sugarcane stems, i.e., sugarcane stalk (ヨ) cells, and a method for promoting accumulation of sugar in sugarcane stems using the sugar content increasing agent, that is, a ripening promotion method. Accumulation of sugar in the parenchyma. Background technique In a vast sugarcane cultivation area, large-scale processing equipment is usually installed in order to process sugar after harvesting mature sugarcane. In order for such processing equipment to operate effectively, it is necessary to formulate a processing plan to collect as much mature sugar cane as possible within the limits of its processing capacity, so that the equipment does not have idle time. However, in a wide cultivation area, since there is a time lag in the harvest time, the maturity of sugarcane is not necessarily uniform, and in order to secure a desired amount of raw materials, it is necessary ...

Problems solved by technology

However, currently known sugar content increasing agents have weak sugar-increasing effects and cannot sufficiently promote ripening
