ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT HYDRAULIC SPRAYERS USED IN SUGARCANE (Saccharum spp.)

The Biology of the Saccharum spp. (Sugarcane)

The Effect of Different Cane Portions on Sprouting, Growth and Yield of Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. L.)

A field experiment was conducted during 2003/2004 to determine the effect of different cane portions/cuttings on per cent sprouting, subsequent growth and cane yield of sugarcane variety N-14. The trial was executed on a sandy soil at WonjiShoa Sugarcane Plantation. The experiment was laid in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications and five treatments comprising setts fro...

Genome-wide identification, characterization and expression profile analysis of expansins gene family in sugarcane (Saccharum spp.)

Expansins refer to a family of closely related non-enzymatic proteins found in the plant cell wall that are involved in the cell wall loosening. In addition, expansins appear to be involved in different physiological and environmental responses in plants such as leaf and stem initiation and growth, stomata opening and closing, reproduction, ripening and stress tolerance. Sugarcane (Saccharum sp...

Growth and metal uptake of energy sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) in different metal mine tailings with soil amendments.

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the feasibility of growing energy sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) in three different metal mine tailings (Cu, Sn and Pb/Zn tailings) amended with uncontaminated soil at different mixing ratios. The results indicated that sugarcane was highly tolerant to tailing environments. Amendments of 20% soil to Sn tailings and 30% soil to Cu tailings could increase...

Variability Trends for Brix Content in General Cross Combinations of Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. Complex)

The study was undertaken to determine the potential of general cross combinations in sugarcane, obtained by open pollinating the female parents, to generate variants for Brix (percent total soluble solids) content and frequency distribution pattern of variants, hence generated. Using Brix (an indicator of sucrose content) as selection criterion, 819 ratooned seedlings raised from five general c...
