Citation : Govendasamy, M.; Rajabalee, A.; A key for the generic identification of white grubs (Scarabaeidae, Coleoptera) occuring in sugar cane fields in Mauritius; 1988
Abstract : The key for generic identification of white grubs found in Mauritian sugar cane fields, prepared by VINSON (1937), is modified and updated. The important characters used in the key, namely the arrangement of the ventral setae on the last abdominal segment and structures on the head, are illustrated diagrammatically.

Title : Récolte mécanique de la canne à sucre - incidences du buttage [Mechanical harvesting of sugar cane: the impact of hilling]
Year of publication : 1991
Keywords : SUGARCANE; MECHANICAL HARVESTING; MECHANIZATION; EARTHING UP; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Jacquin, E.; Récolte mécanique de la canne à sucre - incidences du buttage [Mechanical harvesting of sugar cane: the impact of hilling]; 1991
Abstract : After mechanical harvesting of sugarcane was introduced in Mauritius, ridging was carried out in order to improve cutting at the bottom of stems. Surveys of personnel in sugar companies on the usefulness of this practice show that opinions are divided. Measurements of ridge profiles using a profilograph showed a great deal of irregularity in ridging, both along the ridges and throughout the field,due to the d esign of the machinery used. The measurements carried out show that ridging has not provided better quality cuts, and that this parameter is influenced by other variables such as surface rocks, cane varieties and uneven surfaces. Ridging exclusively for mechanical harvesting is not recommended. Measures to improve mechanical harvesting are proposed.
