The Effect of Burning and Trashing on Sugarcane Leaf Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Leaf nutrients of sugarcane variety N16 are discussed and reasons for certain trends put forward. The fertilised versus non-fertilised treatment comparison showed that although where fertiliser was applied that leaf N, P and K were higher, Mn was also higher but Ca, Mg, Si, Zn and Fe were all lower. The trashed versus burnt treatments had a less drastic effect on leaf nutrient levels and it was mainly N, P, K and Mn that benefited from trashing while higher Mg and Fe were found for the burnt treatment. Leaf Si was for the first time measured and of all the nutrients showed the most market evidence of nutrient mining.

Factors Affecting the Economics of Trashing
The trashing versus burning debate has been raging for many years, where trashing is defined as the physical separation of leaf material from the cane stick prior to transporting the cane stick to the mill. This paper steers away from the environmental debate and focuses on the economics of trashing versus burning. Trashed cane can generally be supplied quicker than burnt cane, reducing sucro...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Effect of Intercropping Sugarcane - Legume on the Quantitative, Qualitative and Physiological Characteristics of Sugarcane
In order to investigate the effect of different treatments of intercropping sugarcane with two types of legumes on some quantitative and qualitative propertys of sugarcane, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with 14 treatments and four replications in two locations in Ahvaz, Iran in 2016-2017.

متن کاملOptimum Irrigation Levels for Cane under Burnt and Trashed Conditions
Increasing irrigation levels from 37% to 84% of Class "A" Pan evaporation produced a linear increase in cane yield from 65 to 146 tonslha. The response with burnt cane was greater due to more severe moisture stress, and there was also an increase in cane yield between 84% and 100% Pan which was absent in trashed cane. Maximum sucrose content, as well as brix, purity and recoverable sugar % cane...
متن کاملInvestigating Effect Different Level of Fertilizer, Biofertilizer and Sugarcane Compost on Agrophysiological Characteristics of Maize (S.C 703)
BACKGROUND: Soil nutrition management is an important factor, which determines the plant growth. Soil fertility is determined by the presence or absence of nutrients i.e. macro and micronutrients, which are required in optimum level for crop. OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the effect different amount of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers in maize field under sugarcane ...
