Seven sugarcane clones obtained in crosses made in 1980 were tested in four locations and two Oxisol soils at Jaú region. The commercial varieties NA56-79, IAC67-112, IAC70-22, SP70-1143 and SP71-1406 were used as controls in trials planted in randomized blocks. The genotipes were evaluated in three harvestings, from plant cane trough second ratoon. The following parameters were considered: cane and sugar yield, fiber% and pol% cane. All clones showed inferior in sugar content than the controls, but five of them showed at least better performance in cane yield than var. NA56-79 which acted as the worst control for this character. The clone IAC80-3062, showed better sugar productions than NA56-79. This clone can be recommended as a late-of-season variety for the region.
