Site-Specific Nitrogen Management: Guatemala’s Experience to Optimize Sugarcane Response
At the ISSCT Congress, researcher Carlos Vinicio Mazariegos Tello (Guatemala) presented advances in a program of site-specific nitrogen management in sugarcane, showing […]
Optimizing Nitrogen Use in Sugarcane: Insights from Muhammad Kadwa in South Africa
Nitrogen fertilizer profitability has long been a critical issue for sugarcane producers. As Kadwa explains, “there is no single ideal N rate for every field; each environment responds differently, and every year fertilizer and sugar prices fluctuate.”
Boosting Nitrogen Efficiency in Tropical Sugarcane Soils: Exploring the Latest from Amélie Février
French researcher Amélie Février unveiled significant new insights into nitrogen dynamics in sugarcane systems during the ISSCT Congress. Her presentation, “Apparent Nitrogen Recovery of Exogenous Sources of Organic Matter in Tropical Soils: Update and New Coefficients to Improve Fertilization in Sugarcane,” introduces refined metrics to improve nitrogen efficiency and reduce fertilizer waste in tropical environments.
Post-Release Trials: Accelerating the Adoption of New Varieties at San Carlos Sugar Mill (Ecuador)
At the ISSCT Congress, Ecuadorian researcher José David Palomeque Salazar presented an innovative approach that is transforming how sugarcane growers adopt new varieties: post-release trials implemented at San Carlos Sugar Mill, one of Ecuador’s most important agro-industrial complexes.
One Hundred Years of Agronomy in South Africa: Science, Soil, and Resource Efficiency
Abraham Singels, along with other researchers, evaluated decades of progress in crop growth modeling and water relationship studies. These models have been essential in understanding crop dynamics and optimizing irrigation management under local conditions, improving water use efficiency and input utilization in South African agroecosystems.
