Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleArtificial Neural Network Based Model for Forecasting Sugar Cane ProductionO. O. Obe, D. K. ShangodoyinProblem statement: The global need for alternative energy source has necessitated the exploration of vast organic agricultural products with a view of processing them for the production of ethanol in commercial quantity. To ascertain a sustainable production of ethanol from processed sugar cane, a predictive model based on non-linearity nature of its production is imperative. This is due to unavailability … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,268 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSugar Beet Performance Affected by Uniformity of N FertigationH. Nouri, M. S.M. Amin, S. J. Razavi et al.In common with the majority of crop species, in sugar beet nutrition nitrogen is an important element due to its role in sucrose utilization and plant growth. Application of precision agriculture, in order to apply the right amount of input at the right time in the right area, is appropriate to decrease chemical use and increase plant growth. Problem statement: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,931 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptical Properties and Sugar Content Determination of Commercial Carbonated Drinks using Surface Plasmon ResonanceW. Y.W. Yusmawati, H. P. Chuah, M. Y.W. MahmoodIn this study, an optical sensor based on Kretschmann SPR technique was used to detect the sugar content in commercial carbonated drinks. Three samples of carbonated drinks labeled as "Coke", "100 Plus" and "F&N Orange" have been chosen for angle scan SPR measurements. All the measurements were carried out at room temperature using He-Ne laser beam (632.8nm, 5mW) as a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 8,784 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of Genetic Diversity among Sugarcane Cultivars (Saccharum officinarum L.) using Simple Sequence Repeats MarkersAshutosh Pandey, Rupesh K. Mishra, Shashank Mishra et al.Problem statement: Increasing sugar productivity is the main concern of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) breeding programs. The complexity and size of the sugarcane genome is a major limitation in its genetic improvement. Characterization of sugarcane provides essential information of genetic diversity for breeders utilize for crop improvement. Approach and Results: The objective of this study was to evaluate the microsatellite … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 27 Jan 2012 · 7,563 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEfficient Anaerobic Fermentation of Simple Sugars by Yeast Fuels Resistance Candida spp. Infections to Eradication by DrugsNedosa Ikenna Valentine, Utoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu Anastasia, Dan Danjuma et al.Problem statement: Human systemic Candida infections had proved difficult to eradicate by the medical health care system. Some practitioners and scholars see the problem as being due to drug resistance. For example an author wrote that ‘secondary drug resistance is clearly being encountered in one setting, oropharyngeal candidiasis in patients with advanced Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection usually … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 10 Dec 2011 · 7,836 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUse of a Mixture of Thermophilic Enzymes Produced by the Fungus Thermoascus aurantiacus to Enhance the Enzymatic Hydrolysis of the Sugarcane Bagasse CelluloseJ. R. Monte, W. Carvalho, A. M. F. MilagresProblem statement: The production of hydrolytic enzymes by T. aurantiacus has been performed under solid-state fermentations using lignocellulosic materials. The influences of the inoculum size and of the fermentation medium on the production of hemicellulases and cellulases were studied. Filtrates from the cultures were used to hydrolyze a pulp of sugarcane bagasse and the produced enzymes were shown to be … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2010 · 9,212 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleManufacturing of Granular Matrix with Diatomacious earth, Lime and Sugarcane Bagasse ash to Encapsulate Entomopathogenic Nematodes (Steinernema glaseri)L.V. Bustamante-Espinosa, A. Castañeda-Ovando, J. Hernández-Ávila et al.An alternative for pest control in corn production is the use of biopesticides formulated with entomopathogenic nematodes encapsulated in granular matrices. However, it has been observed that the granular matrices´ lack of resistance to handling and transport causes their deterioration, therefore limiting their use. This study analyzes the use of lime and sugarcane bagasse ash as stabilizer additives in granular … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 20 Jan 2020 · 7,732 accessesView PDF Cite

Sugarcane was grown in pots for 1 month and EDTA was added at concentration levels of 0(control), 0.5, 1 and 2 millimole per 1 kilogram of soil. Plants were harvested at 2, 4, 6 and 8 months. Soil samples were analyzed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2015 · 7,265 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleResponses in Nitrogen Mass and Nitrogen Metabolism of Wild Sugarcane (Saccharum spontaneum L.) UV-B Radiation Under Field ConditionsYanqun Zu, Yuan Li, Haiyun Wang, Yongmei HeField experiments were conducted to evaluate effects of enhanced UV-B radiation (280-315 nm) on intraspecific responses in nitrogen mass and nitrogen metabolism of six wild sugarcane (Saccharum spontaneum L.) clones.
