Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate the activity of acid and neutral invertases in controling the storage of sucrose in sugarcane variety SP80-3280 due to plant regulators application in the middle of the cropping season in Igaraçu do Tietê (SP), Brazil. The experiment was carried out in ratoon cane (crop 2004 and 2005) in a randomized block design with five replications. The treatments consisted of four plant regulators application of the class of growth retainers (Ethephon, Ethyl.trinexapac, Potassium nitrate and Potassium nitrate + Boron) and a control (natural ripening), whose commercial products (c.p.) were Ethrel, Moddus, Krista Kana and Krista Kana Plus, with dosage of 2L c.p. ha-1, 0.8L c.p. ha-1, 3kg c.p. ha-1 and 3c.p. kg ha-1, respectively, without adjuvants application. The growth regulators provide alterations of different and significant intensity in soluble acid invertase and neutral invertase levels enzymes. The agricultural efficiency of maturators was affected significatively by the weather and time of application. The treatments with maturators, were affected most in 2004, when wheater conditions were unfavourable to natural ripening, were favour the ripening sugarcane process implicating in improvement technological quality of stems.
