The genotype × environment interaction has a direct effect on genotypes stability and adaptability in different environmental conditions . In this sense, plant breeders look for genotypes that have general adaptability, or they look for genotypes that have specific adaptability for specific environments. In this regard, 20 chickpea genotypes were used in a randomized complete block design with ...

In South Africa during the past four decades considerable research has taken place on the nutrient requirements of sugarcane. Consequently marked changes have occurred in patterns of fertilizer use. The value of N, P and K fertil~zers for cane production is reviewed using field experimental data. Correlations established between soil and leaf analysis and crop responses to various nutrients are...

Pacific Economic Bulletin Volume 20 Number 3 2005 © Asia Pacific Press This article seeks to determine the short to mediumterm impact of EU Sugar Protocol reforms on Fiji’s sugar industry. The expected impact on the livelihoods of sugarcane producers, the area remaining under cane, sugar cane output and sugar production are derived under various price scenarios using industry census production ...

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the impact of stress on sugar cane cutters and the prevalence of physical and psychological symptoms before and after harvest. METHODS We studied 114 sugarcane cutters and 109 urban workers in the pre-harvest and 102 sugar cane cutters and 81 urban workers in the post-harvest period in the city of Mendonça, SP, Southeastern Brazil, in 2009. Data analysis was based on the fr...

number of fields now have less than 40 cm of soil (Shih et al., 1998). Second, for every cm of rainfall, the free Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is the primary crop on the Histosols water in the soil profile of EAA Histosols can be exof the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA), where periodic floods pected to rise about 10 cm (Glaz et al., 2002). Finally, and undesirably high water tables are increas...

Sugarcane stalk population is a key determinant of cane yield and knowing the right intra-row spacing critical factor in sugarcane production for given environment. Therefore, field experiment was conducted at Omo Kuraz Sugar Estate during 2018/ 2019 cropping season to determine effect spacings (5 cm overlapping, end-to-end, 5 between setts 10 setts) on growth, yield, components quality paramet...

Three herbicide screening trials, nineteen regional trials and three subsidiary trials were conducted during 1962-63, covering a wide range of environmental conditions and weed populations in the Natal cane belt. The outstanding herbicide was Paraquat which gave good post-emergent control of the two most important weeds, Cyperus esculentus and Panicum maximum, as wellas the majority of other we...

Previous research has shown that population densities of plant-parasitic nematodes are reduced when a legume crop is grown in rotation with sugarcane. However, this effect is only temporary, as nematodes usually return to high densities within 12 months of planting sugarcane. This rapid resurgence suggests that natural enemies that normally keep plant-parasitic nematodes under control in natura...

The nutritional status, juice quality and sugar production of sugarcane varieties RB867515 RB92579 were evaluated in the cane-plant cycle, as a function magnesium doses applied at bottom planting furrow. study, installed soil with Mg content equal to 0.61 cmolc dm-3, was conducted an experimental design randomized blocks four replications. study 2 x 5 factorial: two varieties: RB92579, five mag...

Different planting techniques influence the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of sugarcane. This study focused on hypothesis that altering sett spacing bud placement position significantly improves sugarcane yield quality. The experiment was conducted during periods, 2016–2017 2017–2018, under field conditions at Sugarcane Research Institute, Agriculture Centre, Tandojam, Sindh, Paki...
