in order to study the effects of sugar cane harvest machinery traffic on bulk density and cone index variation, a survey was conducted in 10 farms of deabel khozaiee sugarcane agro-industrial company, ahvaz, in 2006. in this experiment, two types of harvesters including wheel half track and tire wheels with 14 tons of weight, versus two types of tractor and basket transporters, with 10 and 18 t...

To evaluate the effect of gypsum and manure on the yield and quality of sugarcane and properties of sodic soils, an experiment was conducted on farmer’s field at Dosehra area, District Charsadda during Kharif 2004. Ten treatments comprised of control (T1), gypsum @ 25 % of the soil requirement (T2), gypsum @ 50 % (T3), gypsum @ 75 % (T4), gypsum @ 100 % (T5), farm yard manure (FYM) @ 20 tons ha...

Human interference in production systems becomes feasible through the use of specific devices that, among other functions, allow monitoring, control and optimization processes. One drawbacks encountered sugar ethanol industry is lack instruments for measurement °Brix concentration sugarcane that are low-cost non-destructive. The monitoring cane necessary to identify appropriate time harvesting ...

The long-term effects of green cane harvesting with trash retention, compared with burning, on soil microbiological properties were evaluated using data from the long-term trash management trial at Mount Edgecombe (BT1). Total organic C content was greater under green cane harvesting than burning in the surface 0-10 cm layer of soil. Microbial biomass C was greater under green cane harvesting t...

In present research exploration, sugar cane bagasse an indigenous waste/by product carbon source was tested as substrate for optimum biosynthesis of xylanase by Aspergillus niger using the submerged fermentation technique. The for xylanase production, thee concentration levels (2.5, 3.0 and 3.5%) of sugar cane bagasse, four different fermentation temperatures (i.e. 25.0, 27.5, 30.0 and 32.5C) a...

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) in south Florida is often subjected to flooding due to intense summer rainfall or tropical storms. While there has been considerable research on the response of sugarcane cultivars to high water tables, there is a lack of information on cultivar morphological adaptation to long-term flooding. An experiment was established in Belle Glade, FL to examine: (i) effects of ...

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids) is a world-wide cash crop for sugar and biofuel in tropical and subtropical regions and suffers serious losses in cane yield and sugar content under salinity and drought stresses. Although real-time quantitative PCR has a numerous advantage in the expression quantification of stress-related genes for the elaboration of the corresponding molecular mechanism in ...

A combination of tebuthiuron (25%) and diuron (50%) called Bimate* was evaluated for pre-emergence and postemergence weed control. An early post-emergence application was the best treatment. No phytotoxicity to either plant or ratoon cane was recorded when the recommended rates of 4,O kg of Bimate per ha were used on soil containing 8 to 30% clay, and 5,O kg of Bimate per ha on soil containing ...

Yeast communities associated with sugarcane leaves, stems and rhizosphere during different phases of plant development were studied near Campos, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Atmospheric temperature, soil granulometry and pH, and sugar cane juice degree Brix and pH were determined. Yeast communities associated with sugarcane were obtained after cellular extraction by shaking, blending and shaking ...
