Controlling bacterial contaminants in sugarcane ethanol fermentations
Bioethanol from sugarcane has a lower carbon footprint than petroleum based fuels but the industry is plagued by various economic pressures, including product loss due to contamination of fermentation facilities. Lactobacillus species and other lactic acid producing bacteria from the feedstock and …

Molecular Characterization of Sugarcane Yellow Leaf Virus (SCYLV) and its Effect on Sucrose Transporters in Sugarcane Saccharum spp. hybrids
Sugarcane is an important crop plant and has served as a source of sugar for hundreds of years, recently it is used to produce bioethanol, a renewable bio-fuel energy source. Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (SCYLV) was detected in the late 1990s first in Hawaii as a causal agent of a sugarcane disease …

Isolation and identification of a phytoalexin from sugarcane
Literature reports concerning the sugarcane disease, red rot (causal agent Colletotrichum falcatum Went; teleomorph Glomerella tucumanensis (Speg.) von Arx and E. Muller), indicate that disease resistance is associated with production of a red material. This red substance accumulates in sugarcane …

Shear strength behaviour of sugarcane bagasse reinforced soils
Sugarcane is considered as the most abundant plant based crop grown in the tropics and part of the temperate climates. Its by-product, sugarcane bagasse, constitutes 30% of the total production. In the past, it was considered as waste material but contemporaries through innovative research projects …

A decision support system for sugarcane irrigation supply and demand management
Commercial sugarcane farming requires large quantities of water to be delivered to the fields. Ideal irrigation schedules are produced indicating how much water to be supplied to fields considering multiple objectives in the farming process. Software packages do not fully account for the fact that …
