Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Study of Sugarcane Leaf-Removal Machinery during HarvestSopa CanseeProblem statement: Sugarcane leaf-removing tools could help speed up sugarcane harvest and reduce contamination. Moreover, leaf-removal machinery can solve the problems of sugarcane burning and workers can increase sugarcane harvest production too. The purpose of this research was to study the use of leaf-removal machinery in the post-harvest production of sugarcane to reduce harvest production time and contaminant. Approach: This … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,124 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of EDTA on Cadmium and Zinc Uptake by Sugarcane Grown in Contaminated SoilPantawat Sampanpanish, Natthakan TantitheerasakThe effect of EDTA on cadmium and zinc uptake by sugarcane (Saccarumofficinarum L.) grown in contaminated soil was investigated. 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 accessIn the abstractPhosphorus Biogeochemical Cycling in a Sugar Cane AgroecosystemD. Sequera, D. Lopez-HernandezThe annual harvest of sugarcane plantations together with the burning of the crop before harvest, a common practice of management of sugarcane plantations in South America, leads to the loss of significant amounts of nutrients in those agroecosystems. Thus prescribed burning operations could progressively diminish the level of soil organic matter and increase nutrient deficiency in soils of sugar cane … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 29 Jan 2013 · 7,544 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Machine-Induced Soil Compaction on Growth and Yield of SugarcanePrathuang Usaborisut, Tanya NiyamapaProblem statement: Sugarcane is one of the main economic crops in Thailand. After planting, it can be harvested annually for several successive ratoon crops. Recently, soil compaction due to mechanization has been recognized as a serious problem in sugarcane production. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the effects of soil compaction on the growth and yield of sugarcane. Approach: The … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,706 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnt Diversity in a Sugarcane Culture without the Use of Straw Burning in Southeast, Sao Paulo, BrazilDébora Rodrigues De Souza, Erich Stingel, Luiz Carlos de Almeida et al.Problem statement: One of the current requirements of agroecosystem management is the maintenance of biodiversity. Manual sugarcane harvesting with the previous burning of straw has been gradually replaced by mechanical harvesting in Brazil. However, the diversity of Formicidae, which can be a natural pest controller, has not been studied in this new system yet. Approach: This study was carried out … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,646 accessesView PDF Cite
