Sugar Cane Yield Monitor

2005 Tampa, FL July 17-20, 2005, 2005
Aiming to contribute for the implementation of Precision Agriculture in sugar cane crop in the Brazilian, the main objective of this research was to generate a yield map of this culture. In order to do that this project involved the design and test of a sugar cane yield monitoring system during 2003 and 2004-harvest seasons.

Sugar Cane Yield Monitoring System

Applied Engineering in Agriculture, 2010
The objectives of this study were to develop a scale to continuously weigh sugar cane as it was being harvested, to determine the scale's accuracy, and to statistically analyze the effects of variety, maturity, flow-rate, and section/row length on the accuracy.

Sugar Cane Yield Monitoring System

2001 Sacramento, CA July 29-August 1,2001, 2001
This project involved the design and testing of a sugar cane yield monitoring system, mounted on a Cameco sugar cane combine. The sugar cane yield monitoring system was comprised of a yield sensor (scale), a data acquisition system, and a differential global positioning system (DGPS).

Cellulose to Sugars: New Path Gives Quantitative Yield

Science, 1978
Cellulosic residues that had been treated with a small amount of chemical solvent under room conditions were quantitatively saccharified on enzyme hydrolysis. This treatment can be used to obtain simple sugars for the production of alcohol and other chemicals.

Yield improvements in carob sugar extraction

Process Biochemistry, 1991
Abstract Two multistage methods of sugar extraction from carob pods were compared with a single stage extraction/pressing process. A multistep extraction/pressing process produced a yield improvement of 6·6%. A second process based on the recycling of press liquor through a multistage series of vessels was not only considerably simpler and more ...

Improving bioethanol production by increasing sugar beet crop yield.

CABI Reviews, 2011
Abstract This review presents a summary of published papers on the improvement of sugar beet yield and its transformation into bioethanol. After describing the current political and economic context of sugar beet production, the influence of factors during crop growth is considered.

Calculating sugar yields in high solids hydrolysis of biomass

Bioresource Technology, 2011
Calculation of true sugar yields in high solids enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass is challenging due to the varying liquid density and liquid volume resulting from solid solubilization. Ignoring these changes in yield calculations can lead to significant errors. In this paper, a mathematical method was developed for the estimation of liquid volume change

Lignin modification improves fermentable sugar yields for biofuel production

Nature Biotechnology, 2007
Recalcitrance to saccharification is a major limitation for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol. In stems of transgenic alfalfa lines independently downregulated in each of six lignin biosynthetic enzymes, recalcitrance to both acid pretreatment and enzymatic digestion is directly proportional to lignin content.

Yield and plant population in sugar beet

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1928
Three years of subsidised sugar-beet growing in England has made clear the chief agricultural features of the crop. Many of our soils suit it well; the climate is favourable; it fits satisfactorily into some of our typical rotations. With the 1928 crop will come into operation the first of the subsidy reductions.
