Citation : Santchurn, D.; Ramdoyal, K.; Rivet, L.; Mungur, H.; Handling large populations of sugarcane genotypes at early stages of selection in Mauritius ; 2003
Abstract : Breeding in sugar cane involves the production of new populations of genotypes, which are subsequently screened and clonally multiplied through successive selection stages. This selection process spans over eleven to fifteen years in the MSIRI programme

Title : Oxadiargyl: a new pre-emergence herbicide recommended in potato in Mauritius
Year of publication : 2003
Keywords : Potatoes; Weed control; Herbicides; Oxadiargyl; Solanum nigrum; Panicum subalbidum; Mauritius;
Citation : Barbe, C.; Seeruttun, S.; Gaungoo, A.; Oxadiargyl: a new pre-emergence herbicide recommended in potato in Mauritius; 2003
Abstract : Oxadiargyl (Raft¬), a new pre-emergence herbicide, has been evaluated in potato for its eco-toxicological characteristics and for broader spectrum weed control as objectives. The new product has been tested in potato grown in full-stand and in interrows of sugar cane at rates varying between 0.25 and 0.5 kg a.i.ha-1. The control obtained with oxadiargyl at rates above 0.30 kg a.i. ha-1 was comparable to that of the standard metribuzin at 1.0 kg a.i.ha-1; the new herbicide was superior to the standard on Solanum nigrum, a weed of common occurrence in potato plantations, and Panicum subalbidum. Growth and yield of potato were unaffected by oxadiargyl irrespective of rate. Oxadiargyl has been recommended as an alternative herbicide to metribuzin at rates varying between 0.35 to 0.4 kg a.i.ha-1

Title : Pilot-Plant investigations of the treatment of synthetic sugar factory waste water using the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket process
Year of publication : 2003

Citation : Ragen, A. K.; Wong Sak Hoi, L.; Ramjeewon, T.; Pilot-Plant investigations of the treatment of synthetic sugar factory waste water using the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket process; 2003
Abstract : The treatment of sugar factory wastewater was studied using a pilot upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. The influent was a molasses-based substrate with a chemical oxygen demand (COD) retention time (HRT) att or above four hours and with an average organic loading rate (OLR) below 6.7 kg COD/m3/day, the COD removal efficiency of the system was over 76 per cent. A sharp drop was observed in the COD removal efficiency at a HRT of two hours and at an average OLR above 11.5 kg COD/m 3/day. The optimum HRT is between four and six hours.
