The Clean Air Act, passed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the 1970s, has had a substantial impact in the sugar industry, especially in Florida, where the state operates through the Department of Environmental Regulation (DER), which is now the Department of Environmental Protection called for the installation of pollution control systems on existing and new major sources, such as sugar mill boilers. The DEP set limits on particulate matter (PM) emissions based on mmBTUs of heat input. At that time, BACTs were the wet scrubbers now in use by most bagasse and residue boilers in the state of Florida. Cardentey: Impact of the Clean Air Act on Florida Sugar Mills. particulate matter), but also requires compliance with emissions of other pollutants such as VOC (volatile organic compounds), NOx (nitrogen oxides), S02 (sulfur dioxide) and CO (carbon monoxide).
As we said before, wet scrubbers are ineffective in removing the very small particles. Another technology such as electrostatic precipitators should be installed to effectively remove more of the small particles. Title V of the 1990's Clean Air Act also sets a threshold for the release of 189 chemical elements and compounds known as HAPs (hazardous air pollutants).
PERMITTING WORKSHOP - APRIL 22, 1996 - TAMPA, FLA
Based on these observations, a series of experiments were conducted to quantify the effect of leaf litter and mud on the color of the sap. The effect of leaf litter on color appeared non-linear, with color increasing more rapidly with each stepwise increase in leaf litter level. A series of experiments were designed to quantify the effect on cane juice color of different concentrations of leaf cane litter alone, mud alone, and a combination of leaf reed litter and mud.
A detrimental effect of leafy cane litter on juice color was confirmed, with a more than 6-fold increase in color over the range of treatments studied. There was a 13% increase in juice color for every 1% added cane leaf litter, up to a 10% level, which is within the range of Australian experience (5). The color increased relative to the control, but not as much as the leafy cane itself due to the decolorizing effect of the mud.

These two pathogen-specific PCR protocols can be used as diagnostic tools for the identification and early detection of two important sugarcane diseases. The relative sensitivity of detection for the primer pairs differed for the detection of pathogens in sugarcane extracts, presumably because plant DNA or PCR inhibitors in the extracts had a differential effect on PCR with different primers. PCR detection of pathogens, both in single and multiplex reactions, was improved by careful selection of PCR primers and reaction parameters.
Native populations of the lesser cornstalk borer were attracted to traps baited with a synthetic sex pheromone during 1992–1993. Unlike the males of the smaller cornstalk pit, the males of the sugarcane pit were collected throughout the year. Sugar yields for all crops of all three cycles were not affected by the presence of leguminous crops during the fallow period.

Combined trial averages were respectively and 7,461 kg sugar/ha for unfertilized cane after fallow, fertilized cane after fallow, unfertilized cane after green manure soybeans, fertilized cane after green manure soybeans, unfertilized cane after cash soybeans and fertilized cane after cash soybeans. The failure of sugarcane to respond favorably to the additional soil nitrogen in soybeans (green manure and cash crop residues) and commercial nitrogen fertilization strongly suggests that nitrogen was not limiting for growth and development after the fallow period at any of the three sites. 4 either mechanically with a rotary disc shear to remove the GCTB, emerging shoots and about 1 cm of soil or manually with a rake that removed the GCTB with minimal disturbance to the emerging shoots.
However, it was found that beds on the surface of the soil that were covered with GCTB still had viable buds after February. Gross cane and sugar yields were at least 5% higher when GCTB was removed by shaving or raking averaged over all removal dates. However, failure to remove GCTB in early spring can result in reduced cane and sugar yields, at least for Louisiana-grown CP 70-321 sugar cane.

Even so, cane stalk population and height in August, and cane and sugar yields were equivalent whether or not Roundup was applied. In 1995, Roundup plus Induce was applied with a canopy sprayer on October 20 to CP 70-321 sugarcane harvested for seed. Bermudagrass control on the row tops and in the middle 24 DAT was excellent (98 to 100%) where both the standard and sensor-equipped hoods were used.
On March 21 of the following year, bermudagrass ground cover was no more than 3% in both trials where Roundup was applied, compared to 25% (trial 1) and 6 1% (trial 2) for the untreated controls. When Roundup was applied in October, the rate required for bermudagrass control was less than when applied in April. When azafenidin was applied postemergence to the crop in the spring, some crop damage was observed in the form of reddening of the treated leaves within 7 days of treatment.

An assessment of the results for the 1995 and 1996 crops showed that the intended improvements had been achieved. At each of the mills he estimated the flow of water and sugar cane in the feeding table. The presentation will follow the brief outline: Introduction, Identification of the mills involved (angles of feed table, styles of feed tables and flow rates of water and sugar cane), graph.

Membership and Dues
Divisions
Fees for each calendar year must be paid no later than 3 months before the annual meeting in the member's department. Dues are collected by each of the department's secretary-treasurers from the members in their respective departments. Only members (all classes) shall have the privilege of speaking at meetings of the association.
The Secretary-Treasurer shall be appointed by and serve as a non-voting member at the pleasure of the Division Executive Committee.

In any given year, the chairmen of the two divisions shall be nominated and elected by different sections.
Division Committees
The officers of each section of the Society shall be: a President, a First Vice-President, a Second Vice-President, a Secretary-Treasurer or a Secretary and a Treasurer, and an Executive Committee composed of these officers and four other members, one from each division of the Division (as described in Section 3 of Article VII), one elected at large, and the President of the previous Executive Committee serving as an Ex-Officio member of the Division Executive Committee will serve. The office of Secretary-Treasurer in this constitution indicates either the Secretary-Treasurer, or the Secretary and the Treasurer. These officers, except Secretary-Treasurer, will be nominated by a nominating committee and voted on before the annual chapter meeting.
The President is elected annually alternately from the two sections provided for below. The President from the Louisiana Division for the year beginning February, 1970, shall be nominated and elected by the Agricultural Section. The terms "year" and "consecutive year" as used in Articles V and VI shall be deemed to consist of the time elapsed between an annual meeting of the division of the Association and the meeting of the succeeding annual division of the Association.
