The Growing of Sugar Cane

Crop Rotation Biomass and Effects on Sugarcane Yield in Brazil

“…Nitrogen and potassium absorption is greatly influenced by moisture; this relation has been known for a long time [40], and the fact that treatments involving green manure crops maintained environments with higher moisture due to soil mulching with plant mass could have favored better potassium nutrition. With regard to calcium, nitrogen seems to favor absorption [41].…”

An assessment of Swaziland sugarcane farmer associations’ vulnerability to climate change

“…In fact, in the early 1960s, Humbert (1963) revealed that very cold periods were not conducive to sugarcane germination and that whenever temperatures drop below 21 °C, germination is either very slow or fails. A study by Ebrahim et al (1998), confirmed that low temperatures of about 15 °C limit the cultivation of sugarcane while temperature increase resulting from climate change is likely to favour cane growth especially during winter months when very low temperatures constrain leaf growth rate and photosynthesis (Gawander 2007).…”

Deficiência de macro e micronutrientes em cana-de-açúcar (Saccharum officinarum spp) variedade CB 41-76 cultivada em solução nutritiva

“…0 tratamento no qual se moitiu o potássio acusou um aumento significativo no teor de cálcio, em confronto ao do tratamento completo. 0 antagonismo cálcio-potãssio foi constatado na cana-de-açu -car em condições de campo, num ensaio de adubação, por HUMBERT (1963). Aumentando o nível da adubação potãssica, correspondia a um decréscimo no teor de cálcio e magnésio, como se pode observar a seguir.…”
