Gibberellins increase sugarcane yield by:
1. Stimulating chlorophyll production, leading to higher photosynthesis.
2. Directly converting starch into sucrose in the leaves.
3. Accelerating root growth, leading to increased water absorption.
4. Increasing stem length, thus enhancing the storage of sugars.
