Agroclimatic zoning of sugarcane areas in Cuba
Last Updated: junio 19, 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.
Characterization of the soil degradation factors in areas planted with sugarcane in Cuba
Last Updated: junio 19, 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.
Drought stress ‘memory’ increases cane yield and juice quality of field-grown sugarcane
Last Updated: junio 19, 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).

Effect of hydrothermal treatments on isolated sugarcane buds
Last Updated: junio 19, 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 suspending irrigation on the quality, quantity and water consumption in early sugarcane varieties in Iran
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025Suspending irrigation at the end of the growth period enhances juice quality in early sugarcane varieties by promoting natural ripening.
Effect of three biostimulants on reducing herbicide damage in sugarcane cultivation
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025Herbicide damage in sugarcane crops can cause leaf chlorosis, leaf necrosis and, in some cases, retardation of crop growth and decreased sugarcane yield. We evaluated the effect of three biostimulants (T1: hormone mobilizer + micronutrients, T2: amino acids + gibberellic acid (GA) + micronutrients, T3: algae + GA + micronutrients, T0: control with no biostimulants) in combination with the conventional herbicide formula (diuron 1600 g ai ha⁻¹, ametryn 1000 g ai ha⁻¹, amine 1080 g ai ha⁻¹, mesotrione 144 g ai ha⁻¹ and terbutryn 500 g ai ha⁻¹).
Effect of trash mulching on water-use efficiency of sugarcane
Last Updated: junio 19, 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 19, 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.
Effects of replanting and the use of an absorbent polymer on sugarcane productivity
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025Where there are failures in germination, sugarcane seedlings are an alternative for replanting. Hydrogels are polymers that absorb and release water without dissolving. This work evaluated the effects of replanting with seedlings and the contribution of application of an absorbent polymer on sugarcane productivity .
Efficacy of biostimulants on sugarcane growth and yield under saline-sodic conditions in Zimbabwe
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025Biostimulants enhance nutrition efficiency, abiotic stress tolerance, and crop quality. The study evaluated biostimulants under saline-sodic conditions to improve yields and help plants tolerate stress. Two saline-sodic study sites in Zimbabwe with pH ranging from 7.14 - 8.34, and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) ranging from 8 - 15.1 were selected.
