The current method of estimating sugarcane stalk sucrose content, known as Commercial Cane Sugar (CCS) in SRA’s breeding
program uses near infra-red (NIR) in the lab. This is both time-consuming and costly. An attractive alternative lies in the
unique spectral signatures (or reflectance at different wavelengths) generated by sugarcane canopies interacting with sunlight.
