Could large‐scale silicon supplementation of crop‐lands mitigate the impacts of climate change?
Intervention strategies that involve supplementing crop‐lands with silicon have significant scope for carbon capture and drought mitigation, offering wide‐ranging societal impacts. These include contributing to decarbonisation goals, enhancing food security, providing economic benefits and reducing environmental damage associated with intensive ...

New Reports of Exotic and Native Ambrosia and Bark Beetle Species (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) From Ohio [PDF]
In a 2007 survey of ambrosia and bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) along a transect in northeastern Ohio, we collected six exotic and three native species not previously reported from the state.

Analysis of biomass traits in sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids) [PDF]
Sugarcane is a C4 perennial grass able to efficiently convert light energy into biomass. Bagasse, the fibrous waste product of sugar production, and biomass from high-fiber sugarcane varieties are important feedstocks for replacing fossil carbon in the production of fuels and other chemicals.

Variability, heritability and genetic advance in sugarcane ( Saccharum spp. hybrid) genotypes
The study was carried out with the aim of estimating variability, heritability, and genetic advance for 196 sugarcane genotypes. Results of the analysis of variance identified a very highly significant variation among the genotypes in all the traits evaluated.

Sugarcane phosphorus (P) availability is limited in tropical soils, requiring strategies to improve fertilizer efficiency. This study evaluated Bacillus velezensis UFV 3918 (Bv) in combination with an organomineral fertilizer (OF) at reduced monoammonium phosphate (MAP) doses. It showed that Bv + OF + 1/3 MAP achieved soil and plant P levels comparable

Alelopatía en Saccharum spp. (caña de azúcar)
El presente trabajo es una revisión de la alelopatía en la agricultura. La alelopatía incluye interacciones bioquímicas por exudados de compuestos orgánicos excretados por las plantas y otros organismos (donador) para el ambiente, las cuales provocan inhibición o estímulos en los organismos aceptores.

Characterization of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) leaf senescence: implications for biofuel production [PDF]
يستخدم الجيل الثاني من الإيثانول (2G - Bioethanol) المواد الخام الليجنوسلوزية لإنتاج الإيثانول. قصب السكر هو واحد من أنسب المحاصيل لإنتاج الوقود الحيوي. يتم استخراج عصيره لإنتاج السكر، في حين أن قصب السكر، والقش، وأوراق الشيخوخة تعتبر نفايات صناعية. الشيخوخة هي التدهور المعتمد على العمر للخلايا النباتية، مما يؤدي في النهاية إلى موت الخلايا وإكمال دورة ...

Hyperspectral proximal sensing was used to characterize the life stages and physiological responses of Diatraea saccharalis and to detect parasitism by Cotesia flavipes. Distinct spectral signatures differentiated eggs, larval instars, pupae, and adults, as well as live, dead, and parasitized larvae.

The Sugarcane genome sequencing effort: An overview of the strategy, goals and existing data : [Abstract W538] [PDF]
Sugarcane is a major feedstock used for biofuel production worldwide. Sugarcane cultivars (Saccharum spp) are derived from interspecific hybridization obtained a century ago by crossing Saccharum officinarum (2n=8x=80) and S.
