Sustainability assessment of sugarcane-ethanol production in Brazil: A case study of a sugarcane mill in São Paulo state

Ecological Indicators, 2013
Abstract To improve decision-making, sustainability-based approaches to impact assessment demand that we move beyond narrowly defined considerations to address the full suite of requirements for sustainability, as well as the interconnections, feedbacks and uncertainties that typify complex socio-ecological systems at all scales. This paper applies a

Experiences of Legal Pluralism in Sierra Leone: Land Governance, Neoliberal Dispossession and Gender (In)justice

Development and Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sierra Leone's land governance reform policies are often based on the neoliberal assumption that market growth, gender equality and women's empowerment are mutually compatible objectives. Contrary to this assumption, this article argues that while market‐oriented reforms can help to destabilize legal and cultural norms that are discriminatory ...

Co 16030: a new improved sugarcane variety for North West Zone of India

Journal of Sugarcane Research
The focus of sugarcane improvement programmes in India has been on the cultivation of improved varieties for diverse agroecological regions. The inclusion of mid-late maturing varieties along with early maturing varieties, enables strategic planning of ...

Spectral Characterization of the Life Stages and Physiological Responses of Diatraea saccharalis Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) Larvae Parasitized by Cotesia flavipes Cameron (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
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.

Anaerobic/Aerobic Pretreatment of Sugarcane Mill Wastewater for Application of Drip Irrigation

Water Science and Technology, 1991
Because of inappropriate management of sugarcane mill wastewater in Hawaii, odor problems and handicaps to wastewater reuse for drip irrigation and sugarcane washing have developed. Based on the previous work on wastewater characterization and relevant literature review, a combined anaerobic (UASB) and aerobic (EAFB) treatment of supernatant of settled

Potential of the Predatory Mites Gamasellodes lavafesii (Mesostigmata: Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) on Different Soil Pests/Parasites and Alternative Prey for Large‐Scale Rearing

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many species of Mesostigmata soil mites have potential as biological control agents of pests/parasites. This study evaluated the predation potential of two of these species, Gamasellodes lavafesii (Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Laelapidae).

Ploughing for Justice: Land Return, Clientelism and Citizenship in Central Burma

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article asks if clientelism is a form of citizenship in an agrarian society under military domination. It focuses on the efforts made by villagers in central Burma to recover land previously grabbed by force by the military state. A promise of land return during the political transition of the 2010s enabled dispossessed farmers to define ...

Remote Sensing of Endogenous Pigmentation by Inducible Synthetic Circuits in Grasses

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant synthetic biology holds great promise for engineering plants to meet future demands. Genetic circuits are being designed, built and tested in plants to demonstrate the proof of concept. However, developing these components in monocots, which the world relies on for grain, lags behind dicot models, such as Arabidopsis thaliana and ...

A Hierarchical VvbHLH30‐VvERF70‐VvACS2 Module Orchestrates Ethylene Biosynthesis and Cold Adaptation in Grapevine

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ethylene is a key gaseous phytohormone that plays crucial roles in regulating plant growth, development and stress responses. However, ethylene‐associated biosynthetic and transcriptional regulatory mechanisms governing cold‐adaptation responses in plants remain poorly understood.
