“…Its cultivation covers more than 26.2 million hectares in more than 130 countries and territories worldwide [2], producing more than 1907 million tons of milling canes and 174 million tons of sugar for human and industrial consumption [3]. In addition to its contribution to sugar production, this crop is a main source of intermediaries and raw materials for producing alcohol, acetic acid, butanol, paper, industrial enzymes, and bioethanol as a gasoline alternative biofuel [4,5].…”

Sugarcane, a highly productive crop, is frequently challenged by different biotic agents, such as the pokkah boeng disease that can cause drastic yield losses of up to 40%. This airborne fungal disease is caused by various Fusarium species integrated into a complex. Integrating novel compounds and biological control agents is of paramount importance to cope with these fungi in sustainable systems. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect and compatibility of phosphite (Phi) and Trichoderma sp. in the control of Fusarium sp., in vitro and in planta. Using in vitro tests, we evaluated the effects of Phi (0, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000 µg mL−1) and the compatibility of Phi + Trichoderma (isolates Taz 001, 013, and 016) on the pathogen complex. Using in planta tests, we evaluated the compatibility of Phi + Trichoderma (Taz-016) in the control of Fusarium in sugarcane plants under greenhouse conditions. A synergistic effect of Phi + Trichoderma was observed in vitro on the control of the pathogen, especially when combining 1000 µg mL−1 + Trichoderma Taz-016. In the in planta trial, combining 4000 µg mL−1 Phi + Trichoderma Taz-016 showed the best control of Fusarium infection, improving plant height, culm length and leaf dry weight.

In Mexico, the goal of economic growth, sustainability, decrease consumption of imported oil fuels and additives meeting the climate change commitments with ethanol biofuel is a development goal not yet resolved. This work is based on the premise that feedstock, the use of agricultural lands as a function of economic, ecological and social aspects, inefficient public policies, disinformation and lack of knowledge, culture and attitude of the population and stakeholders towards biofuels has been identified as critical success factors for the transition of conventional sugar mill to an agro-industrial complex. Therefore, a systematic review of academic and technological research was carried out on the recent innovations and scope for future endeavours in ethanol biofuel. Ethanol can gain importance in developing countries as Mexico, producers, and exporters of oil without refining capacity for environmental, climatic and financial benefits. In such a scenario, investments, and public policies in the sector for increasing production efficiency and crop yields as sugarcane will play a critical role in bioethanol value chain.
