Although several metallic elements are required for plant growth, excessive amounts of aluminum ions (Al3+) can result in the inhibition of root growth, thus triggering water and nutrient deficiencies. Plants under stress ...

Sugarcane cultivars show varying degrees of herbicide susceptibility, with herbicide effects ranging from no injury to total plant eradication. In this study, phenotypic and biochemical responses to glyphosate were evaluated ...

Xanthomonas albilineans causes leaf scald disease, one of the most economically important diseases of sugarcane. Leaf scald is a systemic and vascular disease that can severely reduce productivity. The best and primary ...

Changes in the agroecosystem with the increase of green cane harvesting in Brazil affected the insect populations associated to this crop, and secondary pests like the spittlebug Mahanarva fimbriolata Stål, became much ...

In sugarcane cropping systems, green-cane harvesting has progressively replaced the traditional burning of standing crop prior to harvest, increasing the role of decomposition as a mechanism to replenish soil nutrients. ...

Sugarcane ripening is a process controlled by cultivar characteristics and the interaction of genotypes with local climate. The objective of this study was to characterise the temporal variation of sugarcane ripening by ...

The increase in sugarcane production in Brazil does not only depend on the increase of cultivated areas. It also needs alternatives to increase productivity. These alternatives include irrigation, planting method, and ...

This study aimed to assess the effects of Si fertigation on the leaf C:N, C:P, and C:Si ratios, nutritional efficiency, and plant development of two sugarcane cultivars. The experiments consisted of two treatments: absence ...
