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.
Effects of replanting and the use of an absorbent polymer on sugarcane productivity
Last Updated: junio 11, 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 11, 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.
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.
Evaluation of energycane for biomass accumulation and its ecosystem services on fallow sandy soils
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Lignocellulosic energy crops, such as energycane (sugarcane with higher fiber and lower sugar content), have the potential to supply one-third of the biomass required for the U.S. bioeconomy by 2030. Evaluating cost-effective, regionally tailored agronomic practices is crucial, especially considering the high yields of energycane on fallow croplands.
Fertilization Advisory System (SEF 3.0) by Cenicaña: a holistic tool for efficient management of fertilizers
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Soil fertilization is the most significant cost in sugarcane cultivation in Colombia. Current fertilization plans typically rely on sufficiency criteria, neglecting factors such as variety-specific nutrient uptake, field productivity potential, and soil bulk density. Furthermore, fertilizer sources are often selected empirically, without considering their interactions with soil pH, texture, or environmental conditions.

Foliar application of boron and molybdenum on growth and sucrose accumulation in sugarcane variety CC 05-430 in the Cauca River Valley, Colombia
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The impact of foliar-applied boron and molybdenum on the growth, development, and sucrose accumulation of sugarcane variety CC 05-430 was evaluated. The experiment was arranged as a randomized complete-block design with two treatments and five replicates of boron (560 and 700 g ha⁻¹) in combination with molybdenum (8 and 10 g ha⁻¹) applied 210 days after the previous harvest.
Good experimental practices in weed research at eRcane: organization and results
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025eRcane, based in Réunion, is a key player in the global sugarcane sector. Its unit dedicated to herbicide testing has been approved as "Good Experimental Practice" (GEP) since 2014. This approval issued by the state attests to the rigor of its "officially recognized tests” to acquire reliable and comparable data.
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
Increase in millable biomass through foliar application of gibberellic acid, seaweed, and amino acids in sugarcane
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Sugarcane productivity can be enhanced using foliar application of plant hormones and biostimulants. Field studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of application of a combination of gibberellic acid (GA3) with the biostimulants seaweed and amino acids on growth and productivity of sugarcane varieties (CC 01-1940 and CC 11-600).
