Abstract The sugarcane varieties RB975201 and RB975242 were developed and released for harvest at the end of the season (late maturation) in the Central-South region of Brazil. In specific environments, these varieties were compared with commercial standards in sugar yield per area. They are resistant to major sugarcane diseases and present the Bru1 gene of resistance to brown rust.摘要：甘蔗品种RB975201与RB975242是针对巴西中南部地区选育并正式推广的晚熟（late maturation）品种，适宜季末收获。在特定种植环境中，该类品种的单位面积含糖产量与商业化主栽对照品种进行了对比。其对主要甘蔗病害均表现出抗性，且携带有抗褐锈病的Bru1基因。
