N2  - Sugar cane Saccharum officinarum (Poaceae) is an important industrial crop in the Ivory Coast. Cane production involves two types of culture. The irrigated cultivation of sugar cane which is that practiced by industrialists and the cultivation in rainy conditions which is that of village producers The  study  aimed  to  improve  agricultural  productivity  in  village  sugar  cane  plantations  by  selecting varieties  adapted  to  rain  conditions.  The  trials  carried  out  at  the  CNRAresearch  station  in  Ferk (̌north of the Ivory Coast) in experimental plots were arranged in complete randomized blocks with 7 varieties,  including  two  controls,  repeated  6  times.  These  experiments  were  carried  out  on  two consecutive harvest cycles, a virgin and a regrowth, with cane yield, extractable sugarcontent and tolerance to bio-aggressors as the main selection criteria. The varieties Co 997,M 1176/77 and M 2238/89 were found to be significantly superior to controls R 570 andSP 711406. As for the variety KnH 80412, it appeared equivalent to the best control R 570. Among these 5 varieties tested under rainy  conditions,  the  most  productive  was  Co  997  with  60.5  t  of  cane  /  ha  after  2  consecutive harvest cycles since the new plantation. These best varieties   Co 997, M 1176/77 and M 2238/89 are drought tolerant and can therefore replace obsolete varieties that have become too sensitive to the major enemies of sugar cane in village cultivation in the Ferkessďougou region
