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.
