Increasing sugarcane productivity at Hacienda Génova through the implementation of an efficient irrigation system
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Génova is a hacienda located in the municipality of Cerrito, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, with a sugarcane cultivation area of 645 ha. The estate's environment is semi-arid, with soils of low moisture content and an average annual precipitation of 750 to 800 mm, requiring supplemental irrigation
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.

Integrating energycane on marginal lands in sugarcane production systems in Florida
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Energycane, or high-fiber sugarcane (Saccharum hybrids), is recognized as a dedicated feedstock for lignocellulosic ethanol production. The biomass yield, quality, and ecosystem services of an improved energycane genotype (UFCP 84-1047) were evaluated by integrating it into the existing sugarcane-sweetcorn planting system using integrated landscape management (ILM).
Integration of multispectral and SAR data with machine-learning algorithms for real-time monitoring and forecasting of sugarcane ripening
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Efficient harvest timing is critical for optimizing sugarcane yield and resource use. This study integrates multispectral and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite imagery with advanced machine-learning algorithms to develop a scalable model for real-time monitoring and forecasting of sugarcane ripening. By tracking the temporal evolution of physiological phenomena measured through neural networks over satellite imaging, the NAX ripening model enables precise prediction of optimal harvest windows.
Intensive use of varietal diversity for managing gaps in sugarcane: attempts and perspectives
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Some abiotic/biotic stress in sugarcane is heterogeneous and varies in a large field during its long growing period among seasons. The negative effects of mechanized harvesting by pulling plants or driving on the rows depend on the operator’s skill and the degree of lodging.
Irrigation management strategies for improving water-use efficiency in sugarcane
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Water resources limitation is a major challenge faced by farmers in Iran. To address this issue, sugarcane industries must find ways to increase irrigation water-use efficiency. Currently, sugarcane is irrigated using a furrow irrigation system through gated pipes. A study was conducted at Karun Agro, Industry to explore different strategies for improving water-use efficiency using several experiments.
Mitigating soil compaction during sugarcane ratoons by managing the subsoil under residue retention
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025In Colombia, after sugarcane harvests, chisel-type subsoiling implements are used to mitigate soil compaction. Usually, harvest residues are cleared from two interrows that will be decompacted and moved to the adjacent third interrowrrow (2×1 arrangement). However, performing chisel subsoiling operations while preserving residues in all interrows is likely to improve the relationship between the machine-soil-plant system and stimulates sugarcane production.
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.
Optimizing sugarcane physiology and quality with Ascophyllum nodosum extract: an effective tool for commercial crop management
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025This study evaluated the impact of Ascophyllum nodosum extract on the physiology and productivity of sugarcane during the vegetative and pre-maturation phases. The experimental design included four treatments: control (T1); application during the vegetative phase (T2); application during the pre-maturation phase (T3); and a split application between both phases (T4), applied in 120 m² plots on a Latossolo Vermelho soil with clay texture.
Optimizing sugarcane planting time for enhanced tillering and yields in Florida
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025This study evaluated the effects of different planting dates (October, November, and December) on tillering and yield performance in three sugarcane cultivars (CP 96-1252, CPCL 05-1201, and CPCL 02-0926) in Florida's Everglades Agricultural Area. A split-plot design with four replications was used to assess plant population, stalk height, and sugar yield.
