Micropropagated sugarcane plants have been used in Brazil for almost three decades. Besides the improvement in plant health, micropropagated sugarcane carries no endophytic plant growth-promoting bacteria. The Brazilian inoculation technology to reintroduce diazotrophic bacteria in micropropagated sugarcane plantlets revealed a synergistic-like effect in PGP-bacteria mixed inoculations. The inf...

The costs of agricultural inputs added to those labor represent almost a third the total cost Brazilian sugarcane production. This study analyzes behavior price per ton in Brazil, relating it main production this cultivation. Twelve indicators from January 2015 December 2020 were evaluated. First, data adjusted multiple linear regression model identify significant variables on variation sugarca...

The expansion of industrial agriculture is a primary driver of tropical forest loss (Kartodihardjo and Supriono, 2000; Abdullah and Nakagoshi, 2008; Sodhi et al., 2010). Tropical forests harbor high levels of terrestrial biodiversity and are the principal habitat for apes in Africa and Asia (Junker et al., 2012). Numerous agro-industrial crops are found in ape ranges, including oil palm, peanut...

The events in Natal of 100 years ago are of particular interest at the moment, as in those days the foundation was being laid of an agricultural industry which was destined to become one of the largest in South Africa. It is also of importance to realise that the cultivation of sugarcane was the early outcome of the trial of many crops, all of which eventually disappeared or only played a small...

Lignocellulosic agricultural byproducts are a copious and cheap source for cellulose fibers. Agro-based biofibers have the composition, properties and structure that make them suitable for uses such as composite, textile, pulp and paper manufacture. In addition, biofibers can also be used to produce fuel, chemicals, enzymes and food. Byproducts produced from the cultivation of corn, wheat, rice...
