- The few varieties from <
0.5 % category, are used
for more than 200 days.
- The decision is taken to
focus on 23 (Plantcane
and Ratoon considered
separately) varieties.

The represents recovery estimated using variety, Julian date and age information.
This complex non-linear function has 5 parameters for each considered variety.
The weather effect modeling is done using 41 parameters; 21 for rain (10 + 5 +
4) and 10 each (6 + 4) for maximum temperature and temperature difference.

- Only Julian date, age and variety effects are considered. i.e
- The weather (rainfall, temperature, humidity) effects are ignored.
- The soil effects are ignored. In other word, zones are not considered.
The comparison indicates
that much ground is left
un-modeled when only
Julian date, age and
variety
effects
are
considered. The residual
error is then mainly
because of weather and
soil effects.

- The deviation might be
because of nonavailability of daily
temperature data for all

It is clear from comparison that still there are un-modeled effects; which could be
wind velocity, relative humidity and manufacturing plant dynamics.

Observations
- Approximately similar sucrose maturation paths with respect to age.
- The peak value of sucrose in plant cane is higher than that in ratoon
- Ratoon is less sensitive to Julian date (seasonal changes) compared with plant cane.
