Many chemicals now avail able would do a good job of dry ing up the leaves but the resi due would remain on the stalk. This would cause off flavors or serious effects in the molasses. Where sugar cane is produced on a commercial scale, there are generally enough dead leaves in the field to obtain good defolia tion by simply burning the dead leaves.
