Sugarcane Ripening with a Moddus Program

The plant growth regulator Moddus is labeled for use as a ripener on sugarcane in Louisiana. Moddus can be applied to all crops in the sugarcane crop cycle. The recommended rate for Moddus for ripening sugarcane in Louisiana is 16-19 oz./acre. The label states that Moddus can be applied 28-60 days prior to sugarcane harvest; higher theoretical recoverable sugar per ton of cane (TRS) response was achieved in the 50- to 60-day range.
