Full textAbstract:
The yield of the sugarcane depends on the quality of the seed used for plantation. The traditional methods of cultivation of sugarcane by cutting random sections of a stalk called sets and sowing them for propagation purposes result in quality degradation. When a defective sugarcane part is used for propagation purposes poor quality sugarcanes are obtained. This results in wastage of a large number of resources used for cultivation purposes. In the paper, we propose an efficient method using image processing for determining the nodes of the sugarcane crop that are found suitable for the propagation of good quality sugarcane. We present the design of a hardware prototype that automatically cuts and gives the cultivator a suitable node that has to be sowed for fresh cultivation. We validate the proposed method by determining the quality of fifty samples of sugarcane stalks and observe that our method works with 93.62 percent efficiency.

In India, the second-largest sugarcane producing country in the world, accurate mapping of sugarcane land is a key to designing targeted agricultural policies. Such a map is not available, however, as it is challenging to reliably identify sugarcane areas using remote sensing due to sugarcane’s phenological characteristics, coupled with a range of cultivation periods for different varieties. To produce a modern sugarcane map for the Bhima Basin in central India, we utilized crowdsourced data and applied supervised machine learning (neural network) and unsupervised classification methods individually and in combination. We highlight four points. First, smartphone crowdsourced data can be used as an alternative ground truth for sugarcane mapping but requires careful correction of potential errors. Second, although the supervised machine learning method performs best for sugarcane mapping, the combined use of both classification methods improves sugarcane mapping precision at the cost of worsening sugarcane recall and missing some actual sugarcane area. Third, machine learning image classification using high-resolution satellite imagery showed significant potential for sugarcane mapping. Fourth, our best estimate of the sugarcane area in the Bhima Basin is twice that shown in government statistics. This study provides useful insights into sugarcane mapping that can improve the approaches taken in other regions.

Abstract Peruvian regions for sugarcane planting produce sugarcanes throughout the year with a high average productivity. The objective of this article is to analyze the role of agents in the sugarcane supply chain to Peruvian mills and their relationship with the practice of agrarian contracts to sugarcane production. The perception of landowners and farmers about bioenergy and their predisposition to plant energy crops is also investigated. Field interviews are conducted with the main agents of the sugarcane production chain in the major producing regions. Statistical analysis of data from field interviews indicates that the relationship between owners and sugarcane producers is of land leasing. Intermediate agents act as a fundamental part of the sugarcane supply chain. The sharecropping or sugarcane purchase contract is an instrument that is established between middlemen and small independent producers, whether they are owners or tenants. The middlemen participation in commercialization can reach 30–40% of the sugarcane production. Most mills prefer to produce sugarcane in own lands. A relatively high degree of inequity in favor of the middlemen appears in the intermediation process because, in general, the mills prefer this intermediation in their commercial practice. A large number of landowners and tenants are familiar with notions of energy crops, particularly in relation to sugarcane and have a positive vision about them for the environmental sustainability. However, their interest in planting bioenergy crops is less. Friendly and equitable relations between agents will provide more economic and social stability to the Peruvian sugarcane agroindustry.

Sugarcane is a very important crop especially in a country like Pakistan where millions of people use it regularly. The sugarcane farming in Pakistan is extended from small land farms to cooperate farming. The modern machinery equipped with high technology tool is developed to make the easier cultivation of the sugarcane. But this access to this machinery is only to the corporate farmers due to its high cost. It is therefore necessary to develop a machine that can provide better results, offer higher profits but still cost less and is easier to operate. As, in the traditional method of planting sugarcane, sugarcane is cut into pieces and buried. However, only a sprout is needed to grow sugarcane and the other part of sugarcane is wasted. The design of our machine helps to cut single bud from sugarcane and saves time compared to hand-made and other cutting processes. This project aims to simplify the process of extracting buds using the above-mentioned machine that requires less human labor, less investment and saves time thus proving a lucrative investment for every farmer. The purpose of the development is to improve the sugarcane germination with the less quantity of sugarcane used. In this method only buds will be used to grow the sugarcane nursery. The initial weight of the sugarcane ranges from 0.85 kg to 1.15 Kg. the length of the sugarcane varies from these selected stalks were 50 to 79 inches. The total weight of these three sugarcanes was 3.05 kg, while after the removal of the buds it was 2.31 Kg as the buds’ weights about 0.74 Kg. This method of sugarcane production will improve the farm productivity and sustainability.

Full textAbstract:
Sugarcane is an important industrial crop because it is the major source of white sugar. It is also one of the crops for the alcohol and biofuel industries. Disease-causing organisms can significantly decrease the productivity of sugarcane plants and sugar quality. Among the disease-causing organisms, Colletotrichum falcatum Went causes the most significant economic loss (5–50%) in the sugarcane production due to red rot disease. This loss results in only 31% sugar recovery. It is reported that C. falcatum can kill sugarcane plants. Currently, there is no sustainable way of preventing red rot disease from spreading in sugarcane plantations. Many popular sugarcane varieties are no longer used in sugarcane cultivation because of their susceptibility to C. falcatum. The objectives of this manuscript were to: (i) summarize existing approaches for the early detection of red rot disease and controlling techniques of red rot disease in the field and laboratory and (ii) assess red rot disease control effectiveness so as to propose better methods for mitigating the spread C. falcatum. If our proposition is adopted or practiced, it could significantly contribute to the mitigation of C. falcatum infection in the sugarcane industry. This could enable achieving sustainable cultivation of sugarcanes to guarantee the sustainability of the sugar industry in the tropics and the subtropics.

Full textAbstract:
In China, sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) hybrid cross-breeding began in 1953; approximately 70 years since then, >100 commercial sugarcane varieties have been created. In this study, 88 commercial varieties bred in China between 1953 and 2010 and 12 original foundational varieties were planted to investigate the effect of improving sugarcane varieties in China. Considering 20 years as a time node, the commercial varieties were classified into four improved generations. Retrospective analysis showed significant improvements in sucrose and other technological characteristics of commercial sugarcane varieties. The adoption of improved varieties over generations has continuously increased sugarcane’s sucrose, juice sugar, and gravity purity, and the difference was significant between Gen1 and Gen3, and between Gen2 and Gen4. Gen4 showed 2.06%, 2.35%, and 3.69% higher sugarcane sucrose (p < 0.01), juice sugar (p < 0.01), and purity (p < 0.05), respectively, and 1.13% lower sugarcane fiber (p < 0.01) than Gen1, the original foundational hybrid varieties. The development of new varieties has improved the technological characteristics of Chinese sugarcane. Sugarcane sucrose, juice sugar, and purity showed an increasing trend. Sugarcane fiber content did not significantly change with the development of new varieties but declined in comparison with the original foundational hybrid varieties.

Full textAbstract:
Sugarcane, a C4 plant, provides most of the world’s sugar, and a substantial amount of renewable bioenergy, due to its unique sugar-accumulating and feedstock properties. Brazil, India, China, and Thailand are the four largest sugarcane producers worldwide, and the crop has the potential to be grown in arid and semi-arid regions if its stress tolerance can be improved. Modern sugarcane cultivars which exhibit a greater extent of polyploidy and agronomically important traits, such as high sugar concentration, biomass production, and stress tolerance, are regulated by complex mechanisms. Molecular techniques have revolutionized our understanding of the interactions between genes, proteins, and metabolites, and have aided in the identification of the key regulators of diverse traits. This review discusses various molecular techniques for dissecting the mechanisms underlying the sugarcane response to biotic and abiotic stresses. The comprehensive characterization of sugarcane’s response to various stresses will provide targets and resources for sugarcane crop improvement.

Sugarcane is a major crop for sugar and biofuel production. Historically, mapping large sugarcane fields meticulously depended heavily on gathering comprehensive and representative training samples. This process was time-consuming and inefficient. Addressing this drawback, this study proposed a novel index, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)-Based Sugarcane Index (NBSI). NBSI analyzed the temporal variation of sugarcane’s NDVI over a year. Leveraging the distinct growth phases of sugarcane (transplantation, tillering, rapid growth and maturity) four measurement methodologies, f(W1), f(W2), f(V) and f(D), were developed to characterize the features of the sugarcane growth period. Utilizing imagery from Landsat-8, Sentinel-2, and MODIS, this study employed the enhanced gap-filling (EGF) method to reconstruct NDVI time-series data for seven counties in Chongzuo, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, during 2021, subsequently testing NBSI’s ability to extract sugarcane. The results demonstrate the efficiency of NBSI with simple threshold settings: it was able to map sugarcane cultivation areas, exhibiting higher accuracy when compared to traditional classifiers like support vector machines (SVM) and random forests (RF), with an overall accuracy (OA) of 95.24% and a Kappa coefficient of 0.93, significantly surpassing RF (OA = 85.31%, Kappa = 0.84) and SVM (OA = 85.87%, Kappa = 0.86). This confirms the outstanding generalizability and robustness of the proposed method in Chongzuo. Therefore, the NBSI methodology, recognized for its flexibility and practicality, shows potential in enabling the extensive mapping of sugarcane cultivation. This heralds a new paradigm of thought in this field.

Abstract Crop monitoring is a process that involves regular field visits that seem to be difficult since it needs a huge amount of time and manpower. Thus, in modern agriculture, with an extensive range of satellite data such as Landsat, Sentinel-2, Modis, and Palsar, data are readily available. Sugarcane is a tall perennial grass belonging to the genus Saccharum, utilized for producing sugar. These plants were generally 2–6 m tall with fibrous, stout, jointed stalks, rich in sucrose, that will be accumulated in the stalk internodes. Sugarcanes have a different growth pattern and phenology than many other crops; thus, the spectral and temporal features of satellite data are examined by utilizing statistical and machine learning (ML) techniques for optimal discrimination of sugarcane fields with other crops. In this study, we propose an Optimal Deep Learning Driven Smart Sugarcane Crop Monitoring (ODLD-SSCM) model on Remote Sensing Images. The presented ODLD-SSCM model mainly intends to estimate the crop yield of sugarcanes using RSIs. In the presented ODLD-SSCM technique, the sugarcane yield mapping can be derived by the use of the self-attentive deep learning (SADL) model. Besides, an oppositional spider colony optimization (OSCO) algorithm is used for the hyperparameter tuning of the ODLD-SSCM model. A detailed set of experimentations were performed to demonstrate the enhanced outcomes of the ODLDSSCM model. A comprehensive comparison study pointed out the enhancements of the ODLD-SSCM model over other recent approaches.

Full textAbstract:
Sugarcan e is a major crop for sugar and biofuel production and is cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide. Sugarcane growth is constrained because of winter’s low-temperature stress, and cold resistance is an important limitation in sugarcane growth enhancement. Therefore, in this study, we identified a gene involved in the low-temperature stress response of sugarcane. Calcineurin B-like (CBL) protein is a calcium signal receptor involved in the cold stress response. Five sugarcane CBL genes were cloned, sequenced, and named SoCBL1, SoCBL3, SoCBL5, SoCBL6, and SoCBL9. The protein sequences of these genes were analyzed. The calculated molecular weight of these proteins was 24.5, 25.9, 25.2, 25.6, and 26.3 kD, respectively. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that SoCBL1, SoCBL3, SoCBL6, and SoCBL9 were situated in the cytoplasm, while SoCBL5 was present in mitochondria. Secondary structure analysis showed that these five CBL proteins had similar secondary structures. Conserved domain analysis displayed that each sugarcane CBL protein contained three conserved EF domains. According to the self-expanding values of the phylogenetic tree, the CBL gene family was divided into four groups. The CBL1 and CBL9 genes were classified into one group, illustrating that these two genes might possess a similar function. The expression analysis of the SoCBL gene under low temperatures showed that SoCBL3 and SoCBL5 were affected significantly, while SoCBL1 and SoCBL9 were less affected. These results demonstrate that the CBL genes in sugarcane have similar characteristics and present differences in genetic diversity and gene expression response to low temperatures. Therefore, these genes might be novel candidates for fighting cold stress in sugarcane.

Sugarcane plant samples affected by the disease pokkah boeng were collected from the major sugarcane producing areas in Iran. Fifty isolates of Fusarium verticillioides were recovered from diseased sugarcanes. Results of pathogenicity tests revealed that all isolates were pathogenic to sugarcane. Four hundred and eighty-five nitrate non-utilising mutants were generated from F. verticillioides isolates. Media used for nit mutant generation included potato dextrose agar, minimal medium and Czapeck agar amended with 1.8%, 2%, 2.5%, and 3% potassium chlorate. Nit mutants were divided into three phenotypic (nit1, nit3, and nitM) classes based on their growth on different nitrogen sources in the culture media. Among the isolates tested, 280, 115 and 90 nit1, nit3, and nit M were generated, respectively. Nit mutants were used to force the heterokaryon formation to determine the distribution of VCGs and their relation to pathogenicity and geographic origin. Forty-eight VCGs of F. verticillioides were isolated from sugarcane. Forty-six of the VCGs were represented by a single isolate, whereas the remaining two comprised two isolates. None of the VCGs was common.

Background Chloroplast genomes provide insufficient phylogenetic information to distinguish between closely related sugarcane cultivars, due to the recent origin of many cultivars and the conserved sequence of the chloroplast. In comparison, the mitochondrial genome of plants is much larger and more plastic and could contain increased phylogenetic signals. We assembled a consensus reference mitochondrion with Illumina TruSeq synthetic long reads and Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION long reads. Based on this assembly we also analyzed the mitochondrial transcriptomes of sugarcane and sorghum and improved the annotation of the sugarcane mitochondrion as compared with other species. Methods Mitochondrial genomes were assembled from genomic read pools using a bait and assemble methodology. The mitogenome was exhaustively annotated using BLAST and transcript datasets were mapped with HISAT2 prior to analysis with the Integrated Genome Viewer. Results The sugarcane mitochondrion is comprised of two independent chromosomes, for which there is no evidence of recombination. Based on the reference assembly from the sugarcane cultivar SP80-3280 the mitogenomes of four additional cultivars (R570, LCP85-384, RB72343 and SP70-1143) were assembled (with the SP70-1143 assembly utilizing both genomic and transcriptomic data). We demonstrate that the sugarcane plastome is completely transcribed and we assembled the chloroplast genome of SP80-3280 using transcriptomic data only. Phylogenomic analysis using mitogenomes allow closely related sugarcane cultivars to be distinguished and supports the discrimination between Saccharum officinarum and Saccharum cultum as modern sugarcane’s female parent. From whole chloroplast comparisons, we demonstrate that modern sugarcane arose from a limited number of Saccharum cultum female founders. Transcriptomic and spliceosomal analyses reveal that the two chromosomes of the sugarcane mitochondrion are combined at the transcript level and that splice sites occur more frequently within gene coding regions than without. We reveal one confirmed and one potential cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) factor in the sugarcane mitochondrion, both of which are transcribed. Conclusion Transcript processing in the sugarcane mitochondrion is highly complex with diverse splice events, the majority of which span the two chromosomes. PolyA baited transcripts are consistent with the use of polyadenylation for transcript degradation. For the first time we annotate two CMS factors within the sugarcane mitochondrion and demonstrate that sugarcane possesses all the molecular machinery required for CMS and rescue. A mechanism of cross-chromosomal splicing based on guide RNAs is proposed. We also demonstrate that mitogenomes can be used to perform phylogenomic studies on sugarcane cultivars.

Full textAbstract:
Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids) is a major source of sugar and renewable bioenergy crop worldwide and suffers serious yield losses due to many pathogen infections. Leaf scald caused by Xanthomonas albilineans is a major bacterial disease of sugarcane in most sugarcane-planting countries. The molecular mechanisms of resistance to leaf scald in this plant are, however, still unclear. We performed a comparative transcriptome analysis between resistant (LCP 85-384) and susceptible (ROC20) sugarcane cultivars infected by X. albilineans using the RNA-seq platform. 24 cDNA libraries were generated with RNA isolated at four time points (0, 24, 48, and 72 h post inoculation) from the two cultivars with three biological replicates. A total of 105,783 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in both cultivars and the most upregulated and downregulated DEGs were annotated for the processes of the metabolic and single-organism categories, respectively. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis of the 7612 DEGs showed that plant–pathogen interaction, spliceosome, glutathione metabolism, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, and plant hormone signal transduction contributed to sugarcane’s response to X. albilineans infection. Subsequently, relative expression levels of ten DEGs determined by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR), in addition to RNA-Seq data, indicated that different plant hormone (auxin and ethylene) signal transduction pathways play essential roles in sugarcane infected by X. albilineans. In conclusion, our results provide, for the first time, valuable information regarding the transcriptome changes in sugarcane in response to infection by X. albilineans, which contribute to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the interactions between sugarcane and this pathogen and provide important clues for further characterization of leaf scald resistance in sugarcane.

Full textAbstract:
Biochar is suggested as a conditioner for salt-affected soils for various crops. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of biochar on the growth and physiology of sugarcane under saline and non-saline conditions at an early growth stage. The experiment was conducted in pots in the greenhouses with three replications. Three biochar rates (0, 5, and 10 tons ha−1) were applied before transplanting sugarcane seedlings into the pots. Four weeks after transplanting, plants were irrigated with 300 mL of 100 mM NaCl every two days for 2 weeks. Salinity significantly affected the growth and physiology of sugarcanes. The application of biochar increased plant height, shoot dry weight, root volume, root dry weight, Fv/Fm, and chlorophyll content while decreasing the water saturation deficit and the relative ion leakage in the leaves under both saline and non-saline conditions. Thus, biochar application has positive effects on the growth and physiology of sugarcane at an early growth stage under both saline and non-saline conditions. However, further study is suggested to investigate the effects of biochar on sugarcane under saline stress in the field at different growth stages.

Abstract Sugarcane is considered one of the most promising crops. The growth of the crop is affected by photosynthesis and toter and nutrient absorption by plants. Biostimulant is a non-nutrient biomaterial that is proven to improve crop growth. Based on this idea, Biostimulant technology can be used as an alternative to enhance sugarcane growth. This research aimed to assess the Biostimulant consortium (Sucrosin, humic acid, and AM fungal) to improve the growth of the sugarcane var. Cenning in a dry land. The study tested two treatments, i.e., control (standard procedures) and Biostimulant Consortium application. Sucrosin was applied on 1, 3, 4, and 5 months after planting (MAP) by using a foliar spray. Application of mycorrhizal fungi was spread around the roots area of sugarcane crops. In contrast, the application of humic acid was sprayed on the ground as a coating agent for inorganic fertilizers. Coating fertilizer is carried out by mixing a humic acid solution with as much as 1% of the fertilizer. The research showed the treatment of the Biostimulant Consortium yielded significant results in the sugarcane growth compared to the control on 8 MAP. Biostimulant Consortium can improve crop height and stem diameter significantly up to 30-40% compared to control. It indicates that the Biostimulant consortium’s treatment can improve sugarcane’s vegetative growth in s dry land.

Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) is a causative agent that reduces growth and productivity in sugarcane. Pathogen‐derived resistance (PDR) and RNA interference (RNAi) are the most common approaches to generating resis‐ tance against plant viruses. Two types of transgenic sugarcane have been obtained by PDR and RNAi methods using a gene‐encoding coat protein (CP) of SCMV (SCMVCp). This research aimed to distinguish resistance of the two transgenic sugarcanes in combating SCMV through artificial viral inoculation. The experiment was conducted using transgenic sugar‐ cane lines validated by PCR analysis. Insertion of gene‐encoding CP in the transgenic lines was confirmed by amplification of 702 bp of DNA fragment of SCMVCp. After viral inoculation, mosaic symptoms appeared earlier, at 21 days post inoculation (dpi) in PDR transgenic lines, but was at 26 dpi in RNAi transgenic lines. Symptom observation showed that 77.8% and 50% of the inoculated plants developed mosaic symptoms in PDR and RNAi transgenic lines, respectively. RT‐PCR analysis revealed that the nuclear inclusion protein b (Nib) gene of SCMV was amplified in the symptomatic leaves in plants classified as susceptible lines. Immunoblot analysis confirmed presence of viral CP with a molecular size of 37 kDa in the susceptible lines. Collectively, these results indicated that the RNAi approach targeting the gene for CP effectively produces more resistance against the SCMV infection in transgenic sugarcane compared to the PDR approach.

Full textAbstract:
Sugarcane is a highly productive crop used for centuries as the main source of sugar and recently to produce ethanol, a renewable bio-fuel energy source. There is increased interest in this crop due to the impending need to decrease fossil fuel usage. Sugarcane has a highly polyploid genome. Expressed sequence tag (EST) sequencing has significantly contributed to gene discovery and expression studies used to associate function with sugarcane genes. A significant amount of data exists on regulatory events controlling responses to herbivory, drought, and phosphate deficiency, which cause important constraints on yield and on endophytic bacteria, which are highly beneficial. The means to reduce drought, phosphate deficiency, and herbivory by the sugarcane borer have a negative impact on the environment. Improved tolerance for these constraints is being sought. Sugarcane's ability to accumulate sucrose up to 16% of its culm dry weight is a challenge for genetic manipulation. Genome-based technology such as cDNA microarray data indicates genes associated with sugar content that may be used to develop new varieties improved for sucrose content or for traits that restrict the expansion of the cultivated land.

A field experiment was conducted at Multi Location Testing (MLT) site Barura under on-farm research division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Cumilla (AEZ 19) during 2014-16 to find out suitable vegetable intercropping with sugarcane and also to estimate the profitability of intercropping with sugarcane at Cumilla region. From the research result it was revealed that yield of sole sugarcane was 92.47 t ha-1 whereas for different crop combination with sugarcane such as sugarcane plus cabbage, sugarcane plus cauliflower, sugarcane plus potato, sugarcane plus garden pea and sugarcane plus garlic the adjusted sugarcane yield were 143.36, 122.90, 99.02, 97.19 and 125.15 t ha -1 respectively. Maximum gross return of Tk. 1433600 ha-1 and net return of Tk. 683788 ha-1 came from sugarcane plus cabbage followed by sugarcane plus garlic, sugarcane plus cauliflower and sugarcane plus garden pea. On the other hand, for sole sugarcane gross return and net return were Tk. 924700 and Tk. 214388 ha-1 respectively significantly less than all intercropping combinations with sugarcane. From economic analysis it was showed that highest benefit cost ratio (1.91) came from sugarcane combination with cabbage and lowest from sole sugarcane (1.30).

Abstract Insecticides were applied aerially to plant cane varieties 'CP 74-383' (3 replications) and 'CP 70-331' (1 replication) at the Goldmine Plantation near Edgard, LA, for evaluation of control of secondary infestations of YSA. Experimental plots were 30 rows wide (1.8 m row spacing) and 152.4 m in length (0.84 ha) arranged in a randomized block design (4 replications). Each treatment was applied in water using a Cessna Ag Truck with a swath width of 18 m (10 rows) delivering 18.7 liters of finished form/ha. The first application was made when 60% of the stalks exhibited visible internodes above ground and infestations of sugarcane borer (SCB) exceeded the Louisiana State University recommended threshold of 5% of the stalks infested with live larvae in the leaf sheaths (17 Jun). Second (10 Jul), third (1 Aug), and fourth (21 Aug) applications were made when the SCB infestation exceeded this threshold in plots treated with Asana XL 0.66 EC. YSA infestations were monitored by counting the number of aphids on 20 randomly selected leaves of the whorl and 20 randomly-selected leaves 3 positions below the whorl in each plot each wk.

Full textAbstract:
Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Throughout the sugarcane’s growth stages, periods of drought are common, causing detrimental effects on plant growth. Therefore, the search for strategies for minimizing the impact of drought on sugarcane development is of great interest. Plant growth-promoting bacteria hold the potential for improving tolerance to drought in agricultural systems. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate whether inoculation with Bacillus subtilis can reduce the negative effects of drought on the nutritional, physiological, and morphological characteristics of sugarcane plants. For this, sugarcane was cultivated in a greenhouse, under controlled conditions of water and temperature, with the aid of four treatments: without and with inoculation of B. subtilis, in normal conditions of water availability, and in conditions of water restriction (2 × 2 factorial), with four replications. In treatments with inoculation, the pre-emerged seedlings were immersed in a B. subtilis solution and transplanted into experimental pots. Our results showed that inoculation with B. subtilis improved plant nutrition and chlorophyll concentrations. As a result, the gas exchange parameters (especially net photosynthetic rate and water use efficiency) were also improved, even under drought conditions. In addition, stress parameters (antioxidant metabolism activity) were reduced in inoculated plants. The sum of these beneficial effects resulted in increased root growth, tillering, stalk weight, and higher sucrose concentration in the stalks.

<p>4GQ-1C sugarcane harvester was designed to solve the current problems that large and medium-sized sugarcane harvesters had low adaptability in sloping, small row spacing, and small plots of sugarcane harvesting. In order to verify the adaptability and reliability of 4GQ-1C sugarcane harvester, field tests were carried out and compared with existing models. Results showed that the 4GQ-1C sugarcane harvester has good operation performance with a lower impurity rate and loss rate of sugarcane, stronger harvesting adaptability in small row spacing areas, and is more convenient in collecting sugarcane compared with sugarcane harvesters with power of 132 and 194 kw. Furthermore, 4GQ-1C sugarcane harvester is compact and flexible, with good adaptability and a good harvest effect in sugarcane growing areas with small and medium-sized planting scales, making it worth popularizing and applying to sugarcane harvest.</p>

Sugarcane intercropping with soybean [Glycine max (Linn.) Merr.], mung bean [Vigna radiata (Linn.) Wilczek] and peanut (Arachis hypogaea Linn.) as well as a sugarcane monoculture were conducted to study the impacts of intercropping on soil biological characteristics and bacterial diversity. The results showed that soil cultivable microorganisms, the activities of soil enzymes and microbial biomass carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus were all significantly improved by intercropping with soybean and mung bean. Additionally, soil bacterial diversity and richness in sugarcane fields were also significantly enhanced by intercropping with soybean and mung bean. In addition, soil bacterial community structures in sugarcane fields can be altered by intercropping with different legumes. Proteobacteria, a high-nutrient-tolerant bacterial assemblage, became the dominant bacteria in the sugarcane-soybean and sugarcane-mung bean intercropped soils. Twenty four, 28, 26 and 27 dominant soil bacterial genera were found after the sugarcane-soybean, sugarcane-mung bean, sugarcane-peanut and sugarcane monoculture treatments, respectively. Sugarcane-mung bean intercropping being the most promising system for regaining and improving soil fertility and soil heath and facilitate agriculture intensification of sugarcane.

Full textAbstract:
The sugarcane harvesting practices of farmers pose a recurring problem of burning the sugarcane fields every year, leading to the release of PM 2.5, which is hazardous to health and a matter of concern for all parties involved. The objective of this research is to investigate the causes of sugarcane burning by farmers. Data is collected through participatory observation methods and group discussions with a sample group of farmers in the provinces with the highest incidents of sugarcane field fires, namely Nakhon Ratchasima, Kalasin, and Khon Kaen in the northeastern region of Thailand during the 2021/2022 production season. Content analysis techniques are employed to identify the reasons behind the behavior of burning sugarcane. The findings reveal that sugarcane burning has been a long-standing practice among farmers, and the prevalence of burning has increased due to a shortage of labor for sugarcane cutting. The available machinery for sugarcane cutting is insufficient and unsuitable for the farmers' fields. Farmers who burn sugarcane fields are aware of the health impacts and have benefited from the government's measures to address the issue of sugarcane field fires. However, it is observed that the quantity of burnt sugarcane still exceeds the government's target, because burning sugarcane is a cost-effective, convenient, and rapid method. It is found that penalizing farmers at a rate of 30 Baht per ton of burnt sugarcane and providing assistance at a rate of 120 Baht per ton of fresh-cut sugarcane does not sufficiently motivate farmers to change their sugarcane burning behavior.

[RESPONSE OF THE NUTRITION LEVELS OF SUGARCANE IN THREE ORDERS OF SOIL DUE TO SUGARCANE MONOCULTURE CULTIVATION]. Monoculture cultivation will have an influence not only on soil conditions but also on plant growth, nutrient levels in plant tissues, and yields. The purpose of this study was (1) to determine the effect of monoculture sugarcane cultivation on nutrient levels of the roots, stalks, and leaves of sugarcane plants, (2) to determine the relationship between nutrient levels in sugarcane tissue and sugarcane productivity, and yield in three different soil orders. This research had two factors, namely soil order (Entisol, Inceptisol, and Vertisol) and sugarcane monoculture period (1–10, 11–20, and 21–30 years). The sugar cane used was the ratoon of two sugarcane. Parameters observed included nutrient levels of N, P, K, B, and Zn in roots, stalks, and leaves of sugarcane, and productivity of plants. Data analysis was performed with ANOVA at 5% level and regression correlation analysis. The results showed that the levels of N (leaves, stalks, and roots), levels of P (leaves, stalks, and roots), levels of leaf K, levels of B (leaves and roots), and level of Zn of sugarcane roots were influenced by the interaction between soil order and sugarcane monoculture period. Zn and K levels in sugarcane leaves had a strong and significant correlation with sugarcane productivity (r=0.778* and r=0.699*), while sugarcane yields had a strong and significant correlation with N content of root (r=0.752*). This result indicates that the soil order and the mass of sugarcane monoculture have an effect on the nutrient content in the plant and this nutrient content affects the productivity and yield. The availability of macro and micronutrients needs to be considered in monoculture sugarcane planting techniques to obtain optimal and sustainable sugarcane yields.

Full textAbstract:
Weed composition may vary because of natural environment, management practices, and their interactions. In this study we presented a systematic approach for analyzing the relative importance of environmental and management factors on weed composition of the most conspicuous species in sugarcane. A data-mining approach represented byk-means cluster and classification and regression trees (CART) were used for analyzing the 11 most frequent weeds recorded in sugarcane cropping systems of northern Argentina. Data of weed abundance and explanatory factors contained records from 1976 sugarcane fields over 2 consecutive years. Thek-means method selected five different weed clusters. One cluster contained 44% of the data and exhibited the lowest overall weed abundance. The other four clusters were dominated by three perennial species, bermudagrass, johnsongrass, and purple nutsedge, and the annual itchgrass. The CART model was able to explain 44% of the sugarcane's weed composition variability. Four of the five clusters were represented in the terminal nodes of the final CART model. Sugarcane burning before harvesting was the first factor selected in the CART, and all nodes resulting from this split were characterized by low abundance of weeds. Regarding the predictive power of the variables, rainfall and the genotype identity were the most important predictors. These results have management implications as they indicate that the genotype identity would be a more important factor than crop age when designing sugarcane weed management. Moreover, the abiotic control of crop–weed interaction would be more related to rainfall than the environmental heterogeneity related to soil type, for example soil fertility. Although all these exploratory patterns resulting from the CART data-mining procedure should be refined, it became clear that this information may be used to develop an experimental framework to study the factors driving weed assembly.

In order to study the sugarcane cutting mechanism and the effects of influence factors on the sugarcane cutting quality (SCQ) of small sugarcane harvesters in hilly areas, sugarcane cutting experiments and simulations were done through a self-developed sugarcane harvester experiment platform (SHEP) and the finite element analysis (FEA) method. The comprehensive cutting quality evaluating value (CCQEV) was calculated through the number of sugarcane cracks, the crack thickness, and the crack length to evaluate the SCQ. Effects of the amplitude and the frequency of the axial cutter vibration, the cutter rotation velocity, the sugarcane feeding velocity, and the cutter installing angle on the CCQEV were studied. Effects of interaction between the amplitude and the frequency of the axial cutter vibration and that between the axial cutter vibration amplitude and the cutter rotation velocity on the CCQEV were also studied. The sugarcane cutting mechanism was studied through analysis of cutting force signals, the high-speed photographing result in the sugarcane cutting process, and FEA simulations of the sugarcane cutting process, which verified discoveries obtained through sugarcane cutting experiments. This research laid the foundation for the development of small sugarcane harvesters with a good SCQ in hilly areas.

The sugarcane harvester vibration has a bad effect on the sugarcane cutting quality. The effect of sugarcane field roughness on the sugarcane harvester vibration is much more significant than those of cutting forces and the engine. In order to simulate sugarcane field roughness, a simulated sugarcane field exciter (SSFE) was developed to actuate a self-developed sugarcane harvester experiment platform (SHEP). The dynamics and the mathematical models of the SHEP were established. Simulations of the mathematical model show these two models are reasonable. The dynamic characteristic experiment of the SSFE shows it matches characteristics of sugarcane field roughness, but great lateral oscillations existed when it worked. Then the SSFE II was developed. The dynamic characteristic experiment of the SSFE II shows it matches characteristics of sugarcane field roughness and improves the SSFE. The modal test of the SHEP was done to further study dynamic characteristics of the SSFE II. With the SSFE II, simulated experiments of sugarcane harvesters under complete vibration causing conditions can be done in labs instead of sugarcane fields to avoid the low efficiency, poor security, and bad reliability during experiments in sugarcane fields.

In the Rio Grande Valley of Texas (RGV), values of maize and cottonseed crops are significantly reduced by aflatoxin contamination. Aflatoxin contamination of susceptible crops is the product of communities of aflatoxin producers and the average aflatoxin-producing potentials of these communities influence aflatoxin contamination risk. Cropping pattern influences community composition and, thereby, the epidemiology of aflatoxin contamination. In 2004, Aspergillus parasiticus was isolated from two fields previously cropped to sugarcane but not from 23 fields without recent history of sugarcane cultivation. In 2004 and 2005, A. parasiticus composed 18 to 36% of Aspergillus section Flavi resident in agricultural soils within sugarcane-producing counties. A. parasiticus was not detected in counties that do not produce sugarcane. Aspergillus section Flavi soil communities within sugarcane-producing counties differed significantly dependent on sugarcane cropping history. Fields cropped to sugarcane within the previous 5 years had greater quantities of A. parasiticus (mean = 16 CFU/g) than fields not cropped to sugarcane (mean = 0.1 CFU/g). The percentage of Aspergillus section Flavi composed of A. parasiticus increased to 65% under continuous sugarcane cultivation and remained high the first season of rotation out of sugarcane. Section Flavi communities in fields rotated to non-sugarcane crops for 3 to 5 years were composed of <5% A. parasiticus, and fields with no sugarcane history averaged only 0.2% A. parasiticus. The section Flavi community infecting RGV sugarcane stems ranged from 95% A. parasiticus in billets prepared for commercial planting to 52% A. parasiticus in hand-collected sugarcane stems. Vegetative compatibility assays and multilocus phylogenies verified that aflatoxin contamination of raw sugar was previously attributed to similar A. parasiticus in Japan. Association of closely related A. parasiticus genotypes with sugarcane produced in Japan and RGV, frequent infection of billets by these genotypes, and the ephemeral nature of A. parasiticus in RGV soils suggests global transport with sugarcane planting material.

The sugarcane woolly aphid is one of the main pests of sugarcane worldwide. The Pinellia pedatisecta agglutinin (PPA) gene has been demonstrated to function towards aphid resistance in other crops. In our study, in order to investigate the PPA function towards aphid control in sugarcane and its underlying mechanism, the PPA gene was overexpressed in a sugarcane Zhongzhe 1 (ZZ1) cultivar in independent transgenic sugarcane lines. It was confirmed in this study that PPA transgenic sugarcane can resist aphids via detecting the aphids’ development and tracing the survival number on PPA−transgenic sugarcane lines as well as PPA negative control lines. The mechanism of PPA lectin−associated defense against aphids was preliminarily explored. Stomatal patterning differences of sugarcane leaves between PPA−transgenic sugarcane lines and negative control lines were found. PPA overexpression led to an increase in stomata number and a decrease in stomata size that might have changed the transpiration status, which is critical for aphids’ passive feeding. Moreover, the antioxidant enzyme, sugar, tannin and chlorophyll content in sugarcane leaves before and after aphid infestation was determined. The results indicated that PPA overexpression in sugarcane resulted in an increase in antioxidant enzyme activity and tannin content, as well as a reduction in the decline of certain sugars. These together may improve sugarcane resistance against the sugarcane woolly aphid.

The study was undertaken to know the profitability of sugarcane production as monoculture and as intercrop. Data were collected from 70 sugarcane growers of Daulatpur Upazilla under Kushtia District. Data were collected during the period from February to July 2003. The study reveals that the sugarcane plus potato combination produced the highest net return followed by sugarcane plus maize, sugarcane plus lentil and sole sugarcane production. Family labour cost, cost of urea, number of fertilizing, sowning/planting time of intercrop, cost of sett were the important factors which influence the profitability of sugarcane production both as intercrop and as nonoculture. High prices of inputs, lack of scientific knowledge, and dishonesty of officials are the major problems in sugarcane production. In order to promote intercropping in a large scale with sugarcane, government and other related organizations must encourage farmers to produce sugarcane as intercrop in order to earn higher net return.

The development of new sugarcane varieties affects crop production positively. However, only some studies have investigated how the use of different sugarcane varieties reacts to the impact of climate change, and how to improve sugarcane production efficiency considering the use of different sugarcane varieties in the field. This research hypothesizes that it is possible to mitigate climate change’s impact on sugarcane production and improve eco-efficiency if the proper sugarcane varieties are chosen. The main objective is to analyze the influence of different sugarcane varieties on production eco-efficiency. An econometric study unveiled the main elements affecting sugarcane production in this research. Afterward, a data envelopment analysis determined the sugarcane varieties with more efficient production. The results indicated that climate impact on production was irrelevant when controlling for different sugarcane varieties. Furthermore, it was found that through correct variety choosing, it is possible to improve harvest efficiency. The outcome of this research contributes to achieving the United Nations SDGs 1, 2, 7, 9, and 15.

Full textAbstract:
The tertiary sulfonium compound 3-dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is found at high levels in many marine algae, but among higher plants it has been reported to accumulate only in Spartina (Gramineae) and one other genus. Cultivated and wild species from 23 genera of Gramineae were tested for DMSP accumulation in leaves of non-stressed plants, using an indirect gas chromatographic assay. Sugarcanes and closely related species accumulated up to 6 μmol g-1 fresh wt; other species contained no more than 0.3 #956;mol g-1 fresh wt. In sugarcanes, mature leaves had higher levels of DMSP than expanding leaves, immature internodes and mature internodes. The identity of DMSP was confirmed by a novel gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method, by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance. Mass spectral evidence indicated that DMSP levels in leaves were at least ten-fold higher than glycine betaine levels, suggesting that DMSP may have replaced glycine betaine as a compatible osmolyte in sugarcane. Consistent with this possibility, DMSP was as effective as glycine betaine in relieving osmotic inhibition of bacterial growth, and was accumulated to concen- trations above 1 M by osmotically stressed bacterial cells. Because DMSP is the biological precursor of dimethylsulfide, sugarcane fields may be sources of dimethylsulfide emissions.

The crop divider is a crucial component of the sugarcane chopper harvester that has an important effect on the lifting performance of lodged sugarcanes. However, tropical weather and climate result in severe sugarcane lodging, which seriously hinders the sugarcane lifting process. To improve the lifting performance of crop dividers, a variable-spiral spike-toothed crop divider was designed. Some structural parameters of the bench test were designed. In this study, the forward speed, the rotational speed of the scrolls, and the installation angle of the scrolls were selected as test factors and the lifting angle of the sugarcane was selected as the test index. Based on a single-factor test, we found the optimum range of these test factors: a forward speed of 0.4~0.8 m/s, a rotational speed of the inside scrolls of 100~140 r/min, and an installation angle of the inside scrolls of 55°~65°. An orthogonal test was conducted to identify the relationships of test index and test factors. The regression model was obtained by fitting the test data and the response surface was established to analysis the interaction of test factors. According to Design Expert 8.0.6, the optimal factor combination of parameters was: a forward speed was 0.74 m/s, a rotational speed of the inside scrolls of 134 r/min, and an installation angle of the inside scrolls of 63.5°. Finally, the regression model was verified by the bench test. The relative error of the regression model of the lifting angle was 4.94%, which showed that the regression model was reliable. This study is expected to provide valuable references for the design and improvement of crop dividers.

Sugarcane holds immense significance, particularly in a nation like Pakistan, where it is a staple for millions of people. Sugarcane farming in Pakistan spans from small individual farms to corporate enterprises. While modern machinery with advanced technology has been developed to simplify sugarcane cultivation, it’s primarily accessible to corporate farmers due to its high cost. Consequently, there is a pressing need for a cost-effective, user-friendly machine that can deliver excellent results, enhance profits, and be more accessible. In the traditional method of planting sugarcane, the sugarcane is typically cut into pieces and buried. However, only a single bud-chip is required for sugarcane growth, leading to wastage of the remaining sugarcane. The machine is designed to precisely extract single bud-chips from sugarcane, saving time compared to manual and other cutting methods. The primary objective of this project is to streamline the bud-chip extraction process through the aforementioned machine, which demands less human labor, reduces investment costs, and saves time, making it a profitable investment for all farmers. The core purpose of this development is to enhance sugarcane germination while using a smaller quantity of sugarcane. In this method, only bud-chips are utilized to cultivate the sugarcane nursery. The initial weight of the sugarcane ranged from 0.92 kg to 1.21 Kg, and the length of the sugarcane from these selected stalks varied between 53 and 84 inches. The combined weight of the three sugarcane stalks was 3.28 kg, but after removing the buds, it reduced to 2.45 kg, with the bud-chips themselves accounting for a weight of approximately 0.74 kg. This approach to sugarcane production will bolster farm productivity and sustainability.

As a globally important sugarcane-producing region, Southern China (SC) is severely affected by various agrometeorological disasters. This study aimed to comprehensively assess multiple sugarcane agrometeorological disasters with regards to sugarcane yield in SC. The standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index and the heat degree-days were employed to characterize drought, flood, and high temperature (HT) during sugarcane growth stages in three provinces in SC in the period 1970–2020. Moreover, the relationships between sugarcane climatic yield and disaster intensities were investigated. The results indicated that the most recent decade witnessed the most intensive sugarcane agrometeorological disasters; sugarcane drought and HT intensities significantly (p < 0.05) increased in one and two provinces, respectively. Central and western SC was most drought-prone, while eastern SC was most flood-prone; sugarcane HT was concentrated in southwestern SC. The mature stage exhibited the greatest monthly intensities of drought and flood; the most HT-prone growth stage varied with provinces. The relationships between drought/flood intensity and sugarcane climatic yield were significant in seven districts; the yield-reducing effect of sugarcane flood was more obvious than that of drought. In conclusion, this study provides references for agrometeorological disaster risk reduction for sugarcane in SC.

Highlights A method of locating sugarcane seed bud based on anisotropy transformation is proposed.Using computer binocular vision technology, the location of the sugarcane seed bud was determined by edge feature matching of the sugarcane seed bud.There are few methods to study the automatic location of sugarcane seed buds, and our research provides a new research idea.Abstract. Sugarcane is a major economic crop in China, but the degree of mechanization in sugarcane cultivation is low. To improve the economic benefit of sugarcane planting, promoting the use of mechanization in sugarcane planting is necessary. Currently, the sugarcane planted using mechanization has a low survival rate and the mechanization efficiency is low because the existing sugarcane precutting machine fails to address the problem of damaging seed buds. This study proposed a sugarcane bud localization method based on computer binocular vision technology. The sugarcane stem segment positions can be determined by the grayscale horizontal projection after preprocessing the sugarcane image based on color and grayscale features. Then, the bud area can be intercepted according to the positional relationship between the seed bud and the stem node, and the planar position of the seed bud will be determined by using the color space conversion and the gray vertical projection. Finally, the anisotropic scaling transformation is used to match the seed-bud area and restore the spatial coordinates of the seed bud, and the spatial position of the seed bud can be determined. The image pyramid acceleration matching process is adopted, which can make the method more suitable for real-time applications. The experimental results show that the accuracy of seed-bud matching based on the anisotropic scaling transformation is 98%, which provides a basis for research on the anti-injury germ system in the automatic planting process of sugarcane. Keywords: Anisotropic scaling, Binocular vision, Image pyramid, Mechanization planting of sugarcane, Seed bud location.

This study evaluates the feasibility of integration of the single-bud sugarcane and catfish farming system and the growth rate of both plants and fish. The observation started from September to November 2020. The design used was randomized with one factor. The treatments used were cultivation of single-bud sugarcane in polybags, hydroponic single-bud sugarcane cultivation, integration of single-bud sugarcane-catfish, and catfish cultivation. The results showed that the growth of sugarcane seedlings and the catfish indicate that the integrated cultivation system of sugarcane-catfish is feasible to apply. Such an integration system produces a better number of leaves, stem diameter, leaf area, and root length than the cultivation system of sugarcane seedlings in polybags. The weight of the canopy and the root of sugarcane seedlings in the integration system is also noticeable greater than the sugarcane seedlings cultivated in the polybag. In addition, the rate of catfish growth in the integration system is better than catfish's ordinary cultivation.
Keywords: hydroponic, integration farming system, single bud sugarcane planting

Abstract. Sugarcane is an annual or perennial persistent rooted tropical and subtropical herb that grows in tropical and subtropical regions. As China's production ranks among the world's leading, sugarcane industry is an important part of agricultural economy in China. As the largest sugarcane production center in China, Guangxi is one of the most suitable areas for sugarcane cultivation in China and even in the world. Sugarcane industry, as an agricultural advantageous industry in Guangxi, not only has a significant image to the national economy of the region, but also is closely related to the issue of security of national sugar supply. Continuous cropping of sugarcane is very common in Guangxi, which is very helpful for the concentration selection of sugarcane samples. The wide application of satellite remote sensing monitoring technology has become an indispensable means of natural resources monitoring. Using optical satellite remote sensing image to identify and extract sugarcane planting areas is of great significance to quickly and conveniently grasp the information of sugarcane distribution and yield. In this paper, the precision of sugarcane extraction from GF1 and GF2 satellite images is analyzed by using deeplab V3 + model, the effect of optical remote sensing images with different resolution on sugarcane extraction accuracy was studied to provide better data support for dynamic monitoring of sugarcane planting.

Full textAbstract:
Sugarcane bagasse, lignocellulosic residue from the sugar industry, is an abundant and renewable bioresource on the earth. The application of ionic liquids in sugarcane bagasse biorefinery is gaining increasing interest. The homogeneous modification of sugarcane bagasse by free radical initiated graft copolymerization of acrylate monomers using 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride as solvent was performed. A variety of sugarcane bagasse graft copolymers with different weight percent gain were prepared via adjusting the monomer dosage. FT-IR studies confirmed the success in attaching the poly(acrylate) side chains onto sugarcane bagasse. Oil absorbency studies suggested that the sugarcane bagasse graft copolymers were potential biobased materials for effective treatment of ester-based oils. SEM studies showed that the sugarcane bagasse graft copolymers displayed a dense morphology structure. Thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated that the thermal stability of sugarcane bagasse decreased after the homogeneous modification by the graft copolymerization. The present study provides an alternative strategy to convert sugarcane bagasse into a value-added functional biobased material.
