The league handles most of the policy issues and lobbying efforts for the industry. These clones were evaluated in stage 2 (first clonal stage) in the plant and first ratoon crops. Adoption of family selection in early-stage trials has positively influenced other aspects of the selection program.
Taken together, this can only lead to an improvement in the overall effectiveness of the selection programmes. Seedling planting rate for the different plant densities in the 2nd and 3rd year of the study. 1 Planting densities used in the 1999 crop were single (low) and double (high) overlap; and in 2000-01 the crop was a reduced (low) and a commercial (high) rate.
The stem diameter was the best predictor of the degree of selection within the regular seedling program. INCIDENCE AND SPREAD OF SUGAR CANE YELLOW LEAF VIRUS IN SUGAR CANE CLONES IN THE CP CULTIVAR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AT. The results of this cross-validation were critical in evaluating the tool as an alternative to CPM for sugarcane payment purposes.
A significant portion of the chopper-harvested cane was harvested green, especially early in the season. In the 1993-1995 crop, the sugar cane yield (tonnage and sucrose content) obtained for Aeschynomene was numerically higher than all other cover crop treatments and the control treatment (fallow field without cover crop planted with sugar cane).

Effect of liming and calcium silicate slag rates and placement on LCP 85-384 plant reeds on a light textured soil. Our research determined the effect of lime and calcium silicate slag and its placement on the yield of cane plants grown on light-textured soils in Louisiana. The results showed that mixing 2.24 Mg ha-1 and 4.48 Mg ha-1 calcium silicate slag into the soil before planting, or placing 2.24 Mg ha-1 slag under sugarcane at planting, resulted in higher (P<0.10) sugar yields compared to the bill.
Analysis of variance for leaf P content showed significant interactions for location by P rate at harvest and for location by P rate at leaf sampling time. Sugarcane growers (interspecific hybrids of Saccharum spp.) in Florida usually apply a soil insecticide at planting to limit wireworm (Melanotus communis Gyll.) damage to planted stem sections. A recent study showed that sugarcane emergence was improved by floods of 2-12 days applied at planting.
The aim of this study was to analyze sugarcane emergence after 7, 14 and 21 days of flooding applied at planting as well as conventional application of an organophosphate insecticide at planting without flooding.

Journal American Society of Sugarcane Technologists, volume infestation levels, weather conditions, producer economics, environmental concerns, etc.). In the previous studies, more than 80% of the plants each year were infected with strain H. A problem associated with sugarcane breeding is the potential for self-pollination by the mother's wild parents.
The primary objective of the Louisiana "L" Sugarcane Variety Development Program is to effectively develop improved sugarcane cultivars for Louisiana's sugarcane industry. This paper will outline the procedures and techniques used by LSU staff in the seedling production through infield testing phases of the Variety Development Program. No attempt is made to articulate the cause and effect of the technologies, but there are general comments on the experiences with some of the technologies and the possible trends that these technologies may take the industry in the future.
Gas chromatography was used to determine glucose, fructose and sucrose concentrations in and out of the evaporators.

Concentrations increase from the primary juice to significant levels by the end of the separation process. We monitored the operation of the device in various areas of extraction, steam production and purification to assess the impact of this mode of operation. To solve the problem of soil erosion with the fourth runoff, a field experiment is being conducted at our research site in St.
Gabriel, LA to study the effectiveness of applying polyacrylamide (PAM) to the soil walls of the drainage channel to reduce erosion. In March 2002, PAM was applied as a spray directly to the soil walls of the quarter drains at a dose of 18 kg/ha in a split application with a concentration of 500 ppm. Soil erosion and sedimentation were measured after each storm event to develop a 3-D view of changes in cross-sectional shape of the quarter drains.
Where PAM was not used, progressive deterioration of the side walls of the quarter drainage was visible, including transition points where erosion of up to 3.0 cm was recorded.
