Ripening Response of Sugarcane Varieties to Chemical Ripeners and Economic Benefits during the Early Period of Harvesting at Wonji-Shoa and Metahara Sugarcane Plantations, Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia

Table 2

Combined analysis of variance (p values) for cane yield, sucrose content, and sucrose yield in a field experiment involving four sugarcane varieties, six chemical ripener treatments, and two locations.

Source of variation	Cane yield (t ha^−1)	Sucrose content (%)	Sucrose yield (t ha^−1)
Variety (V)^1	0.001	0.003	0.001
Ripener (R)^2	0.201	0.001	0.003
Location (L)^3	0.064	0.102	0.172
V × R	0.956	0.001	0.100
R × L	0.733	0.295	0.757
V × R × L	0.995	0.999	0.998
