Use of sugarcane industrial by-products for improving sugarcane productivity and soil health

open access: yesInternational Journal of Recycling of Organic Waste in Agriculture, 2016
Purpose Sugarcane industries are age-old industrial practices in India which contribute a significant amount of byproducts as waste. Handling and management of these byproducts are huge task, because those require lot of space for storage. However, it provides opportunity to utilize these by-products in agricultural crop production as organic nutrient ...
