Sugarcane has been cultivated in an extensive area in Khuzestan and irrigated by hydro-flume or siphon and furrow. In a field experiment during 2005-6 at Amir Kabir Agro-Industry, Khuzestan, the effect of every other-furrow irrigation method was studied on sugarcane in regard to irrigation water volume, water use efficiency and quality and quantity of sugarcane. The experiment was conducted in ...
متن کاملValue of irrigation water with uncertain future rain: A simulation case study of sugarcane irrigation in northern Australia
[1] Using sugarcane as a case study, this paper shows how an agronomic model can be used to estimate the marginal value of stored irrigation water with uncertain future rain. We do this by estimating production functions that have the water available for use as the variable factor of production (referring to them as allocation production functions). These differ from more ‘‘traditional’’ produc...

Limited information is available on water and nitrogen (N) management of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) in Khuzestan, southwestern Iran, where this crop is currently and extensively grown under heavy irrigation and N fertilization. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted from September 2000 to March 2002 at the Research Department of Karoon Agro-industry in Khuzestan to determine the ...
متن کاملSugarcane Water Stress Tolerance Mechanisms and Its Implications on Developing Biotechnology Solutions
Sugarcane is a unique crop with the ability to accumulate high levels of sugar and is a commercially viable source of biomass for bioelectricity and second-generation bioethanol. Water deficit is the single largest abiotic stress affecting sugarcane productivity and the development of water use efficient and drought tolerant cultivars is an imperative for all major sugarcane producing countries...
متن کاملWater Use Efficiency of Irrigated Sugarcane as Affected by Row Spacing and Variety
To meet the challenge of a limited and costly water supply, South African sugarcane growers will have to find ways of increasing the efficiency of irrigation to maintain high cane and sucrose yields. The term ‘water use efficiency’ (WUE) is generally used as a measure of the overall effectiveness of water (either rainfall or irrigation, or both) for crop production. WUE can be defined as cane y...
