Title : Harvesting more solar radiation for higher cane productivity
Year of publication : 2003
Keywords : Competition; furrow width; light interception; planting density; Mauritius;
Citation : Nayamuth, A. R. H.; Koonjah, S.; Harvesting more solar radiation for higher cane productivity; 2003
Abstract : Solar radiation is a major limiting factor to cane production in the high altitude areas of Mauritius and closer row spacing has been adopted as a solution compared to decreasing intra-row competition. The latter was assessed through increasing furrow wi

Citation : Ah Koon, P. D.; Teeluck, M.; Sugar cane irrigation management under water scarcity; 2003
Abstract : Water is a scarce resource in the North and West of Mauritius from where some 30 per cent of the total sugar production emanates. In other areas of the sugar industry with adequate water supply, production is sometimes limited due to water shortages duri

Citation : Ng Cheong, L. R.; Ng Kee Kwong, K. F.; Ah Koon, P. D.; Rainfall pattern and soil moisture effects on erosion and phosphorus transfer from sugar cane fields to surface waters in Mauritius; 2003
Abstract : Eutrophication is a major problem in many inland surface waters with phosphorus (P) being the main causative nutrient. Phosphorus transfer to surface water in Mauritius is intimately linked to sediment transport occurring during rainstorm events. Rainfall

Citation : Chung Tze Cheong, M.; Pullar, D.; Hunter, H.; Ng Kee Kwong, K. F.; How much down the ditch? Perception and realities; 2003
Abstract : Sugar cane fields comprise about 45 per cent of the total land area of Mauritius. This has caused a strong perception during the past decades that the sugar industry is a major polluting agent in Mauritius, especially after heavy rains. Preliminary resu

Keywords : Heavy metal; nitrate; pollution; sewage sludge; sugarcane; Mauritius;
Citation : Ng Kee Kwong, K. F.; Bholah, M. A.; Toory, V.; Sugar cane fields: a disposal route for organic wastes?; 2003
Abstract : More stringent regulations will emerge to protect the environment from the increasing organic wastes being generated. Of all the disposal options available, only agricultural re-use of these organic wastes produces economic benefits as the wastes contain

Year of publication : 2003
Keywords : Cane burning; code of practice; sugarcane; time of burning; Mauritius;
Citation : Seeruttun, S.; Zuel, N.; Rughoo, M.; Cool burning reduces particulate matter emission in Mauritius; 2003
Abstract : Cane burning prior to harvest is a common practice in the humid and subhumid zones of Mauritius; approximately 25 per cent of the total area under cane was burnt in 2001. Cane burning has been traditionally carried out in the late afternoon, resulting in

Citation : Jhoty, I.; Ramasamy, S.; Autrey, L. J. C.; Progress of precision agriculture in sugar cane in Mauritius; 2003
Abstract : With a view to investigating its potential in the identification of spatial yield and soil variabilities under Mauritian conditions, a project on precision agriculture in sugar cane was initiated two years ago. A yield monitor system, including GPS, has b
