Sucrose content in sugarcane decreases A) if high rainfall occurs during the period of growth of the plant B) if frost occurs during the period of ripening C) if there is fluctuation in temperature during the period of growth of the plant D) if there is high temperature during the time of ripening
Option B) Once cut, sugarcane begins to lose its sugar content, and damage to the cane during mechanical harvesting accelerates this decline. Sugarcane is cultivated in the tropics and subtropics in areas with plentiful supply of water, for a continuous period of more than six to seven months each year, either from natural rainfall or through irrigation. The crop does not tolerate severe frosts.
