Title : Optimisation de l'opération d'une centrifugeuse encontinu utilisée avec un sécheur pour produire du sucre roux de qualité acceptable
Year of publication : 1997
Keywords : CANESUGAR; PROCESSING; CENTRIFUGES; DRIERS; QUALITY; MSIRI STAFF; ST; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Wong Sak Hoi, L.; Tse Chi Shum, S.; Duvergé, S.; Optimisation de l'opération d'une centrifugeuse encontinu utilisée avec un sécheur pour produire du sucre roux de qualité acceptable; 1997
Abstract : A new continuous A centrifugal (STG/FCB 110HR) installed at Deep River Beau Champ Sugar Estate near the end of the 1995 crushing season performed well with increased curing capacity and energy economy compared to a batch machine. The trial period was too short to improve the quality of the sugar produced which had a high moisture content. The operation of the continuous centrifugal and the dryer was optimized in 1996 so as to feed the dryer with sugar at a temperature higher than 60 degree centigrade to ensure evaporative cooling in the dryer. Raw sugar with an acceptable dilution indicator was produced.

Citation : Jacquin, E.; Pyneeandee, D.; Claite, G.; Rivière, V.; Factors influencing the retention time of transport units in mill yards; 1998
Abstract : In some mill yards, transport units are often retained for a lengthy period waiting to be unloaded. A study was carried out to identify the factors responsible with a view to making recommendations in the context of centralization. After identification of

Title : Precision agriculture: perspectives for the Mauritian sugar industry
Year of publication : 1999
Keywords : PRECISION AGRICULTURE; SUGAR INDUSTRY; CARTOGRAPHY; GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM; GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM; MSIRI STAFF; LRD; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Jhoty, I.; Autrey, L. J. C.; Precision agriculture: perspectives for the Mauritian sugar industry; 1999
Abstract : Precision agriculture, (precision farming or site-specific management), is a form of mechanized agriculture that relies upon satellite-based navigational technology to map spatial variability enabling a more judicious use of inputs and can provide the basis for improved yields and reduced costs of production. Devices such as the Global Positioning system (GPS) and yield-mapping systems, mounted on agricultural machinery, are used for data collection. Some applications of precision agriculture are described together with the characteristics of the hardware and software involved. An example of a sugar cane application in the Mauritian context is used to demonstrate how precision agriculture can lead to lower costs and decreased environmental impact.

Title : The promotion of efficient weed management to improve sugar cane productivity
Year of publication : 1999
Keywords : SUGARCANE; WEED CONTROL; HERBICIDES; EXTENSION; TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER; MSIRI STAFF; EXTN; COWA; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Pillay-Samoo, K. D.; Barbe, C.; The promotion of efficient weed management to improve sugar cane productivity; 1999
Abstract : Inefficient weed control is a major constraint to productivity among sugar cane growers. The choice of herbicide, timing of application and spraying techniques were the targeted areas which necessitated closer interaction between research, extension and the farmer. A model planter was chosen among a group of seven planters growing about 300 ha of sugar cane in one specific locality. An on-farm trial was set up to campare his practices with those recommended by the MSIRI, emphasis being laid on appropriate weed management practices. Results showed an increase in yield and a reduction in the cost of herbicide application by the adoption of MSIRi recommendations. The trial has highlighted the role of extension in the promotion of new technologies developed by research to increase productivity.

Title : A critical review of parental choice and cross prediction techniques in the MSIRI sugar cane breeding programme

Citation : Badaloo, G. H.; Domaingue, R.; Ramdoyal, K.; A critical review of parental choice and cross prediction techniques in the MSIRI sugar cane breeding programme; 1999
Abstract : The MSIRI has so far achieved great progress in the production of sugarcane varieties that meet the various objectives of the sugar industry through a judicious choice of parental varieties based on past selection data, the selection of parents based on IT systems followed by the use of appropriate mating system and selection strategies. These procedures are critically reviewed in the light of future needs. Various methods have been employed to estimate the potential of crosses and the likelihood of selecting themost promising crosses that have the greatest potential for producing commercially acceptable genotypes. Consideration is also given on making breeding strategies less sbjective and more genetically and statistically illustrated by the assessment of twenty biparental crosses at the preliminary stages of selection over two contrasting environments.
