A piecewise regression was used to determine growth in Florida sugarcane and sugar yields and how new sugarcane cultivars have positively impacted yields. Breakpoints were created for four periods between 1950 and 2018: Scenario 1 (1950–2018), Scenario 2 (1950–1980 and 1981–2018), Scenario 3 (1950–1980, 1981–2000, and 2001–2018), and Scenario 4 (1950–1968, 1969–2000, and 2001–2018). New sugarcane cultivars have significantly increased sugarcane and sugar yield as well as sugar content.
