Pulsed electric field pretreatment of lignocellulose biomass for maximum fermentable sugar yield
… during hydrolysis, leading to a reduced yield of fermentable sugars. Numerous pretreatment methods have been explored to address the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass. However, many of these methods are either costly or environmentally harmful due to their substantial energy or …

The response of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) to planting method and sowing date
… sowing date) were investigated on crops of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. cv. Amazon) during 1981/82 and 1982/83 seasons at Lincoln, Canterbury. In addition, the influence of transplanting at different growth stages (cotyledon, 2-leaf, 4-leaf) was also examined. Measurements of crop …

Sugarcane growth, sucrose content, and yield response to the ripeners glyphosate and trinexapac-ethyl
… Louisiana climatic conditions, production of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is limited to a maximum growth period of nine months. To increase sucrose concentration in the crop, ripener is applied prior to harvest. The chemical ripeners, glyphosate and trinexapac-ethyl were applied to the sugarcane …

Sweet sorghum diversity, genetics, and breeding
Sweet sorghum is characterized by high sugar content and high biomass and is of growing interest to the biofuel industry. For sweet sorghum to be successfully used for bioenergy production, genetic relationships and diversity within sweet sorghums should be better understood, genetic and …

Appropriate harvesting stage of sweet-sterm sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench) cultivar for optimum bio-ethanol production in Namibia
… bio-fuel. Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum), corn (Zea mays), wheat (Triticum aestivum), rape seed (Brassica napus), barley (Hordeum vulgare), sugar beet (Beta vulgaris), cassava (Manihot esculenta), oil palm (Elaies guineensis), sweet potato (Ipomoea …

Effect of irrigation on grain sorghum ethanol yield and sorghum mutants on biomass composition
… and 2) to evaluate the potential fermentable sugar yield of pedigreed sorghum mutants. Results showed that average kernel weight and test weight of grain sorghum increased as irrigation capacity increased, whereas kernel hardness index decreased as irrigation capacity increased. Starch content …

Pretreatment and hydrolysis of recovered fibre for ethanol production
… substrates digestibility resulted in a hexose yield of approximately 23%, which justified the need for an effective pretreatment. An experimental design was performed to optimize the delignification conditions by performing experiments over a range of temperature, caustic loadings, and reaction …

Red morningglory (Ipomoea coccinea L.) biology and management in sugarcane
… area per plant under a shade environment. In the sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids) and weed competition study, red morningglory infestation in November, based on the degree of wrapping of sugarcane stalks, was 24 % when plots were maintained weed free until late June and allowed to re-infest …

Development of Photocatalytic Reactor Technology for the Production of Fermentable Sugars
… production is the release of fermentable sugars via pre-treatment. Conventionally, physico-chemical and biological pre-treatment methods are energy intensive, environmentally unfavourable and expensive. This study, however reports on the use of a less energy consuming, cheap and …

Optimizing yield and crop nitrogen response characterization by integrating spectral reflectance and agronomic properties in sugarcane and rice
… based prediction models for biomass and grain yield in rice, 2) evaluate agronomic parameters of different sugar cane varieties in response to variable levels of nitrogen supply, and 3) determine the effect of sugarcane varieties on the relationships between spectral reflectance and agronomic …

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 …

Impact of Amphiphiles in Cellulase Stabilization, Recycling and Ethanol Production from Pretreated Biomass
… bioethanol are starch-based materials as well as sugar cane and molasses. However lignocellulosic biomass (e.g. agricultural residues and herbaceous grasses) hold a great potential to be used as carbohydrtae source for fermentation to ethanol. Between the two routes developed for hydrolysis of …
