Characterization of the soil degradation factors in areas planted with sugarcane in Cuba
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The objective of this study was to use soil groups to characterize the main soil degradation factors that limit the production of sugarcane in Cuba. The most representative soil group was selected for each province, grouping them on similar formation processes, physicochemical characteristics and soil limitations.
Effect of hydrothermal treatments on isolated sugarcane buds
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025In Cuba, sugarcane is usually planted manual, with cuttings 25-30 cm long that have 2-3 buds, requiring a considerable seed outlay, between 8-10 t/ha. This study aimed to determine the effect of different hydrothermal treatments on the sprouting of isolated buds and the control of Xanthomonas albilineans in sugarcane.
Effect of trash mulching on water-use efficiency of sugarcane
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Water is the most crucial input in sugarcane cultivation. The availability of water in an appropriate quantity at the right time throughout crop growth has become a major constraint in achieving sustainable sugarcane production.
Effect of urea fertilization timing and application rates on quantitative and qualitative traits of sugarcane variety CP69-1062
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Urea, as a common N source, is widely used in sugarcane cultivation. However, the timing and amount of urea fertilization can significantly impact the quantitative and qualitative traits of sugarcane. Optimizing these two factors can lead to increased yield, improved product quality, and reduced production costs.
Integrating companion leguminous crops in ratoon sugarcane production in Mauritius
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Sugarcane production is often impaired by factors related to loss of soil fertility and severe weed infestations, causing high usage of N fertilizers and herbicides, respectively. Integrating leguminous crops in sugarcane as fallow-breaks was identified as one of the pillars of new cropping systems to mitigate the general yield decline observed in the Mauritian sugar industry since the 1990s.

Efficacy of using calcium and magnesium oxides of different granularities in ratoon sugarcane
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Brazilian soils where sugarcane is cultivated are typically acidic and have low calcium content at depth, which limits the productivity of sugarcane, particularly in ratoons. Limestone, the primary source used to raise pH levels, has low solubility and limited effectiveness when applied to the soil surface over the straw/trash layer.
Optimization of phosphorus management in sugarcane in Tucumán, Argentina: results in plant cane and first ratoon
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025In sugarcane, insufficient levels of available P result in reduced yields and ratoon longevity. Approximately 20% of Tucumán sugarcane area soils shows P deficiency. Traditionally, P fertilizers are applied in a single high dose at planting. Recommended P doses were established following sufficiency criteria and range between 20 and 35 kg of P2O5/ha/year depending on soil P levels and expected yield.
Agroclimatic zoning of sugarcane areas in Cuba
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Sugarcane is a fundamental C4 crop in many regions of the world, valued not only for its economic contribution but also for its significance in biofuel production and other derivatives. This crop encounters considerable challenges stemming from climate variability, which adversely impacts both its productivity and yield.
Drought stress ‘memory’ increases cane yield and juice quality of field-grown sugarcane
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025This study explored the impact of intergenerational drought ‘memory’ on sugarcane yield and quality. Two sugarcane cultivars IACCTC07-8008 (drought tolerant) and IACSP95-5000 (high yielding) were subjected to drought cycles during tillering (group T) or maturation stage (group M).

Impact of pre-harvest burning on the carbon footprint of sugarcane produced in the state of São Paulo, Brazil
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The state of São Paulo, the largest sugarcane producer in Brazil, implements a no-burn pre-harvest technique in 97% of its cultivated areas. However, climate change has intensified droughts, leading to an increase in accidental fires in both natural and agricultural areas, including sugarcane fields
