Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the quantitative characteristics of stems and forage production of sugarcane cultivars for use as dairy cattle feed in the Caparaó "Capixaba" region, located in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The RB867515, RB835486, RB855536, SP801842, and Palito cultivars were evaluated under field conditions. RB867515 stood out for the highest values of stem productivity (269.09±45.90 Mg ha-1) and juice (339.92±52.90 L Mg-1), also showing the highest total soluble solids (°Brix) values, being, therefore, the cultivar with the greatest forage potential for the region.
