Sugarcane clones obtained from crosses made in 1982 in Camamu, State of Bahia, were evaluated in a trial carried out in a "terra roxa estruturada" at da Barra Mill, Barra Bonita, State of São Paulo. The trial started in January, 1987, using a randomized complete block design with four replications. Statistical analysis for cane and sugar yield (t/ha) and sugar content (pol % cane), were performed with four harvest means. Data or number and weight of stalks, flowering intensity and fibre % cane, are presented in comparison with four control varieties: CB47-355, IAC67-112, NA56-79 and SP71-1406. The clones IAC82-3092 and IAC82-3258 showed promising results and in condition to be included in the varietal management studies for the State of São Paulo. Selection made on second harvest or two first harvests mean showed the best results.
