Title : Studies of ripeners on sugar cane. I. Effects of Mon O45 on growth and sucrose content
Year of publication : 1974
Keywords : SUGARCANE; GROWTH REGULATORS; YIELDS; RIPENING; DEVELOPMENT; PHYSIOLOGY; MSIRI STAFF; BOT; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Julien, M. H. R.; Studies of ripeners on sugar cane. I. Effects of Mon O45 on growth and sucrose content; 1974
Abstract : The sugarcane ripener Mon O45, tested on three commercial sugar cane varieties, showed responses depending on variety, time of application, dosage rate and the interval between application and harvest. Age of crop at application appeared to have little influence on the response. The chemical also shown to have growth inhibiting properties. The possible use of this chemical to increase sugar produced per unit area is discussed.

Title : Studies of ripeners on sugar cane. II. The distribution of dry matter and sucrose in the sugar cane stalk following treatment with ripener Mon O45
Year of publication : 1974
Keywords : SUGARCANE; GROWTH REGULATORS; RIPENING; SUCROSE; DEVELOPMENT; PHYSIOLOGY; YIELDS; MSIRI STAFF; BOT; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Julien, M. H. R.; Studies of ripeners on sugar cane. II. The distribution of dry matter and sucrose in the sugar cane stalk following treatment with ripener Mon O45; 1974
Abstract : Mon O45 at rates of 4 and 6 kg/ha was shown to increase total dry matter in the stem of the sugar cane variety M 13/56, optimum response occurring at 9-12 weeks after application. The increase in dry matter was mainly due to an increase in sucrose, since the chemical had no effect on fibre and decreased reducing sugars. The site of action appears to be in the top 16 internodes. Possible modes of action of the chemical are discussed.

Title : Effect of plant age and time of harvest on yield of six sugar cane varieties grown in contrasting environments
Year of publication : 1974
Keywords : SUGARCANE; HARVEST DATE; DEVELOPMENT; PHYSIOLOGY; MSIRI STAFF; BOT; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Julien, M. H. R.; Soopramanien, G. C.; Delavouet, G.; Effect of plant age and time of harvest on yield of six sugar cane varieties grown in contrasting environments; 1974
Abstract : The effects of plant age and time of harvest were investigated in varieties M93/48, M442/51, M377/56, M13/56, M351/57 and S17 grown in five contrasting environments. Both factors were shown to affect fresh weight yield and IRSC; time of harvest was dominant while age had maximum effect late in the season. Strong interactions on sugar yield were found between date of harvest and environment for the six varieties. The agronomic implications of these results are discussed.

Title : Juvenility, senility, climate and flowering in Saccharum
Year of publication : 1974
Keywords : SUGARCANE; DEVELOPMENT; FLOWERING; CLIMATIC FACTORS; PHYSIOLOGY; MSIRI STAFF; BOT; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Julien, M. H. R.; Soopramanien, G. C.; Lorence, D.; Juvenility, senility, climate and flowering in Saccharum; 1974
Abstract : In the two commercial varieties S 17 and M351/57 and also in S. spontaneum var. 51 NG 2, a minimum number of mature internodes is necessary for floral induction, although varietal differences were observed. Old canes with a high number of mature internodes failed to be induced, suggesting an optimum number of internodes for induction. Absence of flowering in the commercial varieties at one site was associated with high maximum day temperatures.

Title : Foliar diagnosis of nutrient deficiencies in Mauritius sugar cane. 1. Changes in optimum leaf nitrogen with ecological conditions
Year of publication : 1974

Citation : Nababsing, P.; Halais, P.; Foliar diagnosis of nutrient deficiencies in Mauritius sugar cane. 1. Changes in optimum leaf nitrogen with ecological conditions; 1974
Abstract : The response of six cane varieties to nitrogen fertilization (0, 70 and 140 kg N/ha) has been studied. Results of three ratoon crops from 23 trials on representative sites throughout Mauritius indicate that optimum fertilization is around 70 kg N/ha. Three levels for optimum nitrogen in the third leaf blade have been established, namely 1.93, 2.05 and 2.22 per cent corresponding roughly to the sub-humid, humid and super-humid areas of Mauritius.

Title : Effects of planting date and seasonal rainfall on yield of groundnuts in Mauritius
Year of publication : 1974
Keywords : GROUNDNUTS; PLANTING DATE; RAIN; CROPPING SYSTEMS; PLANTING METHODS; MSIRI STAFF; FC; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Pillay, A. R.; Mamet, J. R.; Vaudin, J.; Effects of planting date and seasonal rainfall on yield of groundnuts in Mauritius; 1974
Abstract : Effect of planting date and rainfall on groundnut yields in different localities were studied in October-November 1970 (fornightly sowings), and November 1971-October 1972 (monthly sowings). Planting from October to January gave high yields of kernels; however, planting Shulamit by mid-October and "Cabri" by early November should be preferred. Moisture stress during the period of intense flowering and pod development (65-96 days after sowing) reduces yield considerably.
