The sugarcane is increasing in cultivated area all over São Paulo State and Presidente Prudente is not an exception, especially due to the peculiarities as weather, soil, social and economic situation. In other conditions, sugarcane culture has been studied and growing morphological parameters are being correlated with productivity and sugar content. The production estimative and the sugar or alcohol commercialization are dependable of the cultivar behavior and climactic factors of production. The objective of this work was to study the cultivars 'RB 72-454', 'RB 85-5536', 'RB 86-7515', 'SP 81-3250', 'RB 84-5210', 'SP 80-1816' of sugarcane and their results under weather in the Presidente Prudente edaphological conditions. The cultivars tested did not show statistical differences related to the studied attributes (NP - number of stems; DC - diameter of the stem; AC - height of the stem).
