Title : Vine weeds in sugar cane : Fluroxypyr provides cost-effective post-emergence control in Mauritius
Year of publication : 2005
Keywords : Sugarcane; trash management; weed control; weeds; herbicides; vine weeds; Fluroxypyr; Mauritius;
Citation : Seeruttun, S.; Barbe, C.; Gaungoo, A.; Vine weeds in sugar cane : Fluroxypyr provides cost-effective post-emergence control in Mauritius; 2005
Abstract : Vine weeds are becoming a serious problem in many sugar cane producing countries. In Mauritius, recent changes in some cultural practices such as green cane trash blanketing (GCTB), have favoured proliferation of five vine species, namely Ipomoea nil, I.

Citation : Nayamuth, A. R.; Mangar, M.; Ramdoyal, K.; Badaloo, M. G. H.; Early sucrose accumulation, a promising characteristic to use in sugarcane improvement programs; 2005
Abstract : In Mauritius, sucrose content of cultivars harvested during the early part of the season is sub-optimal due to a short ripening phase. Amendments in the selection program and adoption of agronomic measures such as artificial ripening only partially solved

Citation : Badaloo, M. G. H.; Ramdoyal, K.; Nayamuth, A. R. H.; Variation and inheritance of sucrose accumulation patterns and related agronomic traits in sugarcane families; 2005
Abstract : High sucrose accumulation is a desirable characteristic to compensate for sub-optimal sucrose content early in the harvesting season in Mauritius. Furthermore, with the centralisation of milling operations, there is a need to breed for precocious high s
