Provides information on sugarcane cultivation and management. Topics covered include economic aspects of sugarcane cultivation, recycling of bioresources, alternate use of sugarcane products and by-products for bioethanol production, biotic and abiotic stresses under climate change, impact of global warming on sugarcane production, and more.
Sugarcane is a crucial eco-friendly cash crop with massive agro-industrial value as a sweetener and a source of renewable energy. Known for its high varietal resistance to changing climate scenarios, sugarcane is also reported to be prone to biotic stresses like drought, water logging, salinity, multiple soil-related problems, and nutrient deficiencies. This new volume is a 700-plus-page comprehensive resource offering state-of-the-art practical information on sugarcane cultivation and management based on the practical experience, knowledge, and research from around the world.
Key features:
- Discusses the impact of global warming and climate change on sugarcane production and offers mitigation and adaptation strategies
- Presents a plethora of new climate-smart technologies for sugarcane cultivation and management
- Considers climate-smart sugarcane fertilization strategies as well as climate-smart pest management
- Looks at recycling and alternate uses of sugarcane products and byproducts for bioethanol production and other purposes
