Nitrogen Fixation and Translocation in Sugarcane [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
World sugarcane production is increasing rapidly as a biofuel. In some areas in Brazil, sugarcane has been grown continually over very long periods without N fertiliser inputs. Therefore, the occurrence of N fixation has been suspected.

Machine Learning for Asymptomatic Ratoon Stunting Disease Detection With Freely Available Satellite Based Multispectral Imaging [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Disease detection in sugarcane, particularly the identification of asymptomatic infectious diseases such as Ratoon Stunting Disease (RSD), is critical for effective crop management. This study employed various machine learning techniques to detect the presence of RSD in different sugarcane varieties, using vegetation indices derived from freely ...

Irrigation water strategies to intensify vegetable production on smallholder farms in Guyana

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, Volume 74, Issue 2, Page 738-748, April 2025.
Abstract As part of its development program, Guyana is diversifying and expanding its agricultural sector to increase the production of higher‐value vegetable crops. Apart from ensuring food security, this also reduces the country's food import bill. Abandoned sugarcane lands are targeted for the intensification and expansion of vegetable production ...

Evaluating Sugarcane Yield Variability with UAV-Derived Cane Height under Different Water and Nitrogen Conditions [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
This study investigates the relationship between sugarcane yield and cane height derived under different water and nitrogen conditions from pre-harvest Digital Surface Model (DSM) obtained via Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flights over a sugarcane test farm.

Enhanced biobutanol production from rice straw with a two‐stage packed‐bed fermenter coupled with in‐line gas stripping

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study describes the operation of continuous packed‐bed reactors containing Clostridium beijerinckii DSM 6422 attached to granular activated carbon to improve butanol productivity and sugar consumption from rice straw hydrolysate. RESULTS A single‐stage fermenter, which was evaluated at dilution rates ranging from 0.3 to 1.8 h−1,
