The Effects on Irrigated Ratoon Cane of Ripping the Interrow after Harvest in a Range of Soils in Swaziland
نویسندگان
چکیده
Results from nine experiments to test the effects of ripping or chiselling the interrow of irrigated ratoon cane grown on five Swaziland lowveld soils are reported. There were no statistically significant yield benefits from the treatments and in one experiment, deep ripping resulted in a statistically significant yield reduction.

Impact of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in sugarcane productivity was assessed through a field experiment from plant and ratoon sugarcane in Tamil Nadu, India. Control, 12.5 and 18.75 kg ha-1 of AMF along with 75% and 100% of phosphorous application were triedas treatments. 18.75 kg ha-1 AMF applied plots showed significant difference in germination percentage, tiller number, internode...

Standard nutritional advice for irrigated sugarcane in South Africa and Swaziland is based on soil sample analysis and threshold values that have been determined experimentally over many years with surface-applied fertilisers. Fertilisers are normally applied in solid form during the early stages of crop development and watered in by the next irrigation cycle. The increasing popularity of subsu...

A survey conducted from May 1995 through August 1998 revealed diverse nematode communities in Louisiana sugarcane fields. High populations of Mesocriconema, Paratrichodorus, Pratylenchus, and Tylenchorhynchus were widespread in nine sugarcane production parishes. Comparisons of plant cane and ratoon sugarcane crops indicated that nematode community levels increase significantly in successive ra...

The results of two field trials to determine the effect of ratoon stunting disease on the growth and yield of some widely grown and newly released sugarcane varieties are described. In the plant crop of a trial grown under full irrigation, the greatest reductions in yields of cane and sugar among six varieties, approximately 15%, occurred in N 14 and NC0376. In the first ratoon, the greatest re...

Results from 30 trials were used to test the effect of moisture regime (rainfall and irrigation), level of nitrogen fertilizer or variety on the ripening response to glyphosate. The results showed that adequate moisture was required at the time of spraying and between spraying and harvesting to produce good ripening responses. At least five hours should elapse between spraying and heavy rainfal...
