Title : La récolte mécanique de la canne à sucre à Maurice
Year of publication : 1999
Keywords : SUGARCANE; MECHANIZATION; MECHANICAL HARVESTING; CHOPPER HARVESTERS; LOSSES; SUGARCANE QUALITY; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Jacquin, E.; La récolte mécanique de la canne à sucre à Maurice; 1999
Abstract : After a first attempt in the mid 1970's, mechanical harvesting of sugar cane was introduced once more at the end of the 1980's after agricultural labour shortage. Several types of machines have been tested but chopper harvesters have been found to be better suited for local conditions. This new mode of harvesting has so far not revealed any deliterious effect on cane yield. However, harvesters operating in the rocky soils of Mauritius are subject to damage resulting in cane losses during harvesting. The amount of cane harvested mechanically reached 610 000 tonnes, i.e., 10 per cent of total cane produced in 1998. Of this, 84 per cent were chopped cane.

Title : Applications of the Global Positioning System in the Mauritian sugar industry
Year of publication : 2001
Keywords : SUGAR INDUSTRY; CONTOUR MAPS; LAND PLANNING; GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMS; GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS; GIS; PRECISION FARMING; GPS; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Jhoty, I.; Applications of the Global Positioning System in the Mauritian sugar industry; 2001
Abstract : The applications of the Global Positioning System (GPS) technology in the Mauritian sugar industry are reviewed. It is found to be an appropriate tool in the timely and rapid production of large scale topographic and 2m contour maps for land planning, siting of irrigation systems, deriving digital elevation models, establishing ground reference points and the collection of environmental location data for GIS. The prospects of further applications are discussed in relation to precision farming, orthoimages and positional data for utilities.

Title : Crop modelling/simulation: an overview
Year of publication : 2001
Keywords : CROP MODELLING; AGRICULTURAL MODELS; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Cheeroo-Nayamuth, B. F.; Crop modelling/simulation: an overview; 2001
Abstract : The application of crop modelling in the agricultural field dates back only to the 1970s but models of various types are becoming increasingly accessible to users with different levels of exposure and expertise. Agricultural models are, however, only crude representations of the real systems because of the incomplete knowledge resulting from the inherent complexity of such systems. Judicious use of such models is possible only if the user has a sound understanding of model structure, scope and limitations. Within the local agricultural context, crop modelling is a new discipline and background literature is scarce. This paper provides an overall view of agricultural models, their features, and the implications of model development, testing and application. Potential areas of model application are outlined and the main issues to be considered when using models are listed out.

Citation : Ramasamy, S.; Govinden, N.; The suitability of sugarcane lands for tomato; 2001
Abstract : In a project initiated in 1984, sugar cane lands have been indexed with respect inter alia to their suitability for the production of potato, maize and groundnut. In the mean time tomato has become the most important vegetable in Mauritius. Since tomato

Citation : Rivière, V.; Marot, C.; Ng Cheong, R.; Jacquin, E.; Performance of chopper harvesters and their efects on soil and crops at Beau Champ SE; 2001
Abstract : Beau Champ estate was affected by agricultural labour shortage at the end of the 1980's. Two chopper harvesters were purchased and are presently harvesting about 80000 tonnes annually. Their performance are reviewed and discussed. Results of a trial set up to assess the effect of mechanized harvesting on soil and crop at Beau Champ are also discussed

Title : Gregarine (Protozoa: Apicomplexa: Eugreganidia) infection in sugarcane white grubs (Coleoptera: Scarabeidae) in Mauritius
Year of publication : 2001

Citation : Govendasamy, M.; Ganeshan, S.; Gregarine (Protozoa: Apicomplexa: Eugreganidia) infection in sugarcane white grubs (Coleoptera: Scarabeidae) in Mauritius; 2001
Abstract : A protozoan disease was first detected in 1985 on the white grub Phyllophaga smithi Arrow (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). Several studies were carried out to establish its distribution over the island and its incidence in other white grub species. Two apparently different gregarines (Apicomplexa: Eugregarinida) were found infecting second and third instar larvae of P. smithi and third instar larvae of Adoretus sp. Approximately 70
