The CTC9009 variety, from the Sugarcane Technology Center (CTC), registered impressive results in a commercial harvest carried out at Bambuí Bioenergia, in Bambuí (MG), reinforcing its potential for generating productivity and returns for the producer. Cultivated in a favorable production environment (A/B) and harvested at 11 months of age, the variety reached 160.53 tons of sugarcane per hectare (TCH), 135.97 kg of sugar per ton of sugarcane (ATR), and 21.83 tons of ATR per hectare (TAH). The results position CTC9009 in the lead among the evaluated materials, presenting the highest ATR and the best performance in TAH, an indicator that combines agricultural productivity and sugar concentration. Compared to other varieties in the evaluation, CTC9009 showed up to 24.7% more productivity (TCH), the highest ATR among the evaluated materials, and up to 27.9% more TAH, reflecting higher sugar production per hectare. The combination of high sugarcane production and high sugar content reinforces CTC9009's positioning as a fundamental strategy in the varietal planning of producers seeking to maximize the agricultural and industrial efficiency of their fields.
