Estimated repair and maintenance cost of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) harvester

The Biology of the Saccharum spp. (Sugarcane)

Direct Somatic Embryogenesis for Rapid , Cost Effective Production of Transgenic Sugarcane ( Saccharum Spp . Hybrids )

During the last decade, considerable effort has been expended in developing an efficient transformation system for sugarcane. Most protocols employ microprojectile bombardment of gene constructs into embryogenic sugarcane callus. The numbers of transgenic plants produced per bombardment range from 0.1-20 globally, with genotype response and selection regime appearing to be the most important fa...

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...

Maintenance Cost Analysis for Replacement Model with Perfect Minimal Repair

With the evolution of technology, the maintenance of sophisticated systems is of concern for system engineers and system designers. The maintenance cost of the system depends in general on the replacement and repair policies. The system replacement may be in a strictly periodic fashion or on a random basis depending upon the maintenance policy. At failure, the repair of the system may be perfor...
