The herbicide spray is aimed at the base of the cane stems (15 cm above the soil surface) to avoid herbicide contact in or of primary and secondary shoots. Samples were collected from the distal part of the whorl leaves from a single plant per black. The highest virus titer, as measured by ELISA, was found in the distal and middle parts of the whorls (Figure 1).
The best sampling protocol was to collect samples from the middle to the distal part of the whorl leaves during the warmest months (July or August). First, many of the infected varieties (Noble varieties, F varieties, and early CP varieties) have been in the USSC collection for a large number of years.

Cane seed cane was obtained from fields planted in the previous December or January. In two of the four trials, there were no differences in emergence due to seed cane cropping. In the other two trials, the first ratoon seed cane had the highest emergence rate.
Seed cane from the first ratoon crop had a significantly higher emergence rate than seed cane from the plant cane crop. In contrast, CP 72-2086 had higher rates of emergence from plant cane seed than from the average of the two seed cane treatments (P = 0.16). The tendency of other cultivars was to have maximum emergence from the cane seed of the first ratoon.
The seed cane from the upper part of the stem emerged faster than from the middle or lower part. With the exception of CP 74-2005, the emergence levels of the other three cultivars were significantly greater with first ratoon seed cane than with seed cane from plant cane or second ratoon crops. However, seed cane from the plant cane culture had significantly more emergence from the bottom than from the middle part of the stem in this experiment.
However, the yield from the seed reed of the first ratoon of CP 72-2086 was considerably less than from the seed reed of the second ratoon. Plant cane seed cane had significantly greater emergence than ratoon seed cane 1 week after planting. The seed from the second ratoon had less emergence than the seed from the plant or the first ratoon at P = 0.24.
Overall, there were no significant differences in percent emergence due to seed cane harvest. Seed canes from the upper part of the stem had significantly more emergence than seed canes from the middle or lower part.

Postemergence herbicide treatments were targeted to the base (bottom 6 inches) of the sugarcane shoots and over the top of the bermudagrass. The youngest leaf with visible dewlap is located at the top of the stem, just below the whorl. Means were separated using the Least Square Means Test due to the unequal number of replicates in the two experiments (16).
Means were separated using the least square means test because of the unequal number of replications in the two studies (16). Means were separated using the Least Square Means Test due to the unequal number of replications in the two studies (16). Differences in the weight of the harvested stalks and the sugar content of the extracted juice were not detected (data not presented).
At the time of evaluation, Bermuda grass covered 9 3% of the raised bed area in the untreated survey. 34;feel', based on initial experimentation and observation of the mass in various areas in the vessel. Variable speed AC drives, receiving signals from level transmitters in the tanks, control the speed of the pumps.
The speed of the continuous vessel is set based on the available molasses B at the bottom of the vessel. The purity of our C pods depended on the purity of the grain pod and B molasses. However, bulk C dilution can also come from the addition of dilute lubricants to increase the flow rate in the crystallizers.
This practice has a detrimental effect on the purity of the final molasses due to the purity increase that occurs in the reheaters. Product clarification is among the most critical and difficult operations encountered in the purification of biologically produced products.
