Sucrose losses from the field to the mill in a sugar mill in southwestern Colombia
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025This study was carried out during the year 2024, covering all climatic scenarios encountered under normal milling conditions. To identify sucrose losses (Sucrose%Cane), three different scenarios were evaluated: Field, Core Sampler, and Cane Yards, The study involved over 10 sugarcane varieties, with the four most significant varieties being CC05-430, CC01-1940, CC85-92, and CC11-595.
The carbon footprint of sugarcane cultivation using drip irrigation in Tucumán, Argentina
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025The main activities producing greenhouse gases (GHGs) are energy generation, agriculture, industry, transportation, and construction. In Argentina, agricultural sector actions are essential due to their impact on the environment and the drawbacks they create within the sector itself.
Tolpyralate: a promising alternative for post-emergent management of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon)
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025Cynodon dactylon is the primary weed in sugarcane cultivation in Tucumán, Argentina, and topramezone, combined with atrazine, is the only registered selective herbicide for post-emergence control of C. dactylon. We aimed to evaluate the herbicidal effect (HE) of tolpyralate alone and in combination with atrazine on C. dactylon. In trials in three years, plants were propagated from stolons and transplanted into field plots to simulate bermudagrass regrowth after mechanical control.
Total enzyme activity as a microbiological indicator of soil irrigated with vinasse
Last Updated: junio 17, 2025In vinasse-irrigated soils of the province of Tucumán, previous evaluations have primarily focused on chemical indicators, with limited attention given to microbiological parameters. The objective of this study was to evaluate total enzyme activity (FDA) as a microbiological indicator in a Typic Hapludoll with an argic horizon, irrigated with vinasse for three consecutive years.
Type of nitrogen fertilizer and timing of application on sugarcane growth and yield in Iran
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025Constraints on sugarcane cultivation in Iran that include a reduced growing period caused by late harvesting, along with spring precipitation and soil moisture levels suggest different nitrogen fertigation in comparison to other regions.
Urea and nitrate losses as a result of furrow fertigation in Iranian sugarcane fields
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025Nitrogen loss in agricultural systems can occur through diverse pathways, one of which involves the leaching of nitrates from waterlogged soil profiles. Nevertheless, there has been a scarcity of investigations concerning the loss of soluble urea in irrigation water, particularly within sugarcane plantations.
Use of a Vegetation Activity Index for evaluating commercial-scale treatments in sugarcane
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025Accurate assessment of crop vegetative state is crucial for agricultural management, particularly under varying environmental conditions. However, detailed field experiments face logistical and cost challenges. NDVI and other vegetation indices offer non-invasive and large-scale solutions for assessing plant health
Use of Synthetic Aperture Radar images to assess soil moisture in cane crops: practical implications in agricultural operation
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025The capability of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology to estimate soil moisture in sugarcane crops in the Cauca River Valley was evaluated. Given its ability to provide a detailed view of the land surface, SAR emerges as a promising tool for monitoring soil moisture, a critical factor for agriculture.
Using a portable MicroNIR as a key tool for the sugarcane industry
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025Sugarcane companies face challenges in optimizing their harvest timing, as a critical date exists where harvesting achieves maximum efficiency. Missing this date by even a few days can lead to substantial revenue losses. Traditional wet chemistry analyses of limited stalk samples lack representativeness, leading to suboptimal decisions. Industry 4.0T promotes the integration of advanced technologies such as NIR, internet connectivity (IoT) and the processing of data in cloud base type solutions to transform the way sugarcane industry operates, evaluates and produce sugar.
