Abstract
A new Sugarcane variety Co 94012 was released in the name of Phule Savitri for cultivation in Maharastra for Pre season and Sum season. It is an early, high sugared and high yielding variety with high CCS yield. Co 94012 is a somaclonal variant of CoC 671, with better sucrose content and moderately resistant to red rot and smut diseases. This is the first sugarcane variety to be released in India through the use of somaclonal variation.
