Title : Status of maize diseases in Rodrigues
Year of publication : 2001
Keywords : MAIZE; DISEASES; MAIZE STREAK VIRUS; RUST; LEAF BLIGHT; MAIZE STRIPE; RODRIGUES;
Citation : Mawlah, N.; Autrey, L. J. C.; Saumtally, S.; Status of maize diseases in Rodrigues; 2001
Abstract : Disease surveys were conducted in Rodrigues between 1980 and 1998 to determine the level of infection by various pathogens in maize. Smut(Sphacelotheca reiliana) was not encountered. Maize stripe virus was insignificant, although the vector Perigrinus maidis was present in most maize plantations. The incidence of rust (Puccinia sorghi) was low over the island. Leaf blight (Helminthosporium turcicum) and rust (Puccinia polysora) were light to moderate in some cultivars only. However the two diseases have the potential of reaching epidemic proportions under favourable conditions in susceptible varieties. Maize streak virus (MSV) was the most important disease encountered reaching levels as high as 100

Citation : Jannoo, N.; Grivet, L.; Dookun, A.; d'Hont,A.; Glaszmann, J. C.; Evaluation of the genetic base of sugarcane cultivars and structuration of the diversity at the chromosome level using molecular markers; 2001
Abstract : Molecular diversity was analysed among 160 sugarcane clones consisting of 109 modern cultivars mainly from Barbados and Mauritius and 51 of S. officinarum species, which is the major source of genes in modern cultivars. Twelve low copy nuclear rflp probes

Title : Relationship between canopy cover and light interception in potato in a tropical climate
Year of publication : 2001
Keywords : POTATOES; CANOPY COVER; LIGHT INTERCEPTION; POTATO CLONES; REGRESSION COEFFICIENTS; PLANT PHYSIOLOGY; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Cadersa, Y.; Govinden, N.; Relationship between canopy cover and light interception in potato in a tropical climate; 2001
Abstract : Four field experiments were conducted in the two potato planting seasons to determine the relationship between canopy cover and light interception. Results indicated that canopy cover and light interception were higher in tropical than in temperate clones, and in interrows of sugar cane, canopy cover of some clones exceeded 100

Title : Effects of two water retentive chemicals on seedling survival and yield of transplanted tomato
Year of publication : 2001
Keywords : Tomatoes; HYDROGEL; POLYMER; WATER RETENTIVE CHEMICAL; FARMYARD MANURE; FILTER MUD; PLANT PHYSIOLOGY; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Rughoo, M.; Govinden, N.; Effects of two water retentive chemicals on seedling survival and yield of transplanted tomato; 2001
Abstract : In a tomato research planning workshop in 1997, the use of water-retentive chemicals (hydrogels) was identified as a possible solution to minimize the effects of water stress. Nine replicated trials were planted during the summer and winter seasons of 1997 and 1998 in different localities of Mauritius to investigate the effects of two hydrogels at recommended rates on the survival of seedlings after transplantation and on the yield of cooking tomato var. Sirius. Six trials were irrigated and the remaining three were not. Farmyard manure and factory filter muds were also included in the treatments since they are commonly used as amendments in tomato production. Under irrigation, on average, 87

Title : Irrigating sugarcane at varying doses and frequencies: effects on yield and moisture
Year of publication : 2001

Citation : Ng Cheong, R.; Ah Koon, D.; Muthy, K.; Irrigating sugarcane at varying doses and frequencies: effects on yield and moisture; 2001
Abstract : Overhead irrigation is the most important system in Mauritius, representing more than 80 per cent of irrigated land for miller-planters in 1997. The effects of irrigation dose and frequency on cane and sugar yields using a solid-set sprinkler system were

Title : Movement of atrazine by runoff from sugarcane lands in the superhumid region of Mauritius
Year of publication : 2001
Keywords : SUGARCANE; POLLUTION; ATRAZINE; RUNOFF; LAND USE; SUSPENDED SEDIMENT; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Mooniaruck, A.; Umrit, G.; Ng Kee Kwong, K. F.; Movement of atrazine by runoff from sugarcane lands in the superhumid region of Mauritius; 2001
Abstract : The movement of atrazine by surface and subsurface (less than 90 cm) run-offs was studied on 500 m2 plots at Valetta where the mean rainfall exceeds 3500 mm and sugar cane is planted on land with 5 to 12 degree slopes. On 1 December 1997, atrazine was ap

Citation : Permalloo, G.; Moutia, Y.; Saumtally, S.; Germination response of sugarcane setts of different varieties and physiological ages after hot water treatment; 2001
Abstract : Germination response of nine commercial varieties at three different physiological ages was assessed following the dual hot water treatment (DHWT). In setts from crops of 7 and 8 months, dual hot water treatment of cuttings reduced germination as compare
