The production of biomass by sugarcane.

Genevieve Dawn Thompson

Abstract

Experiments conducted between 1962 and 1970 in South Africa permit a study to be made of biomass production by sugarcane. It is possible to estimate the proportions of trash (dead leaves + foliage) and cane stalk produced by different varieties. The accumulation of biomass in the crop, maximum rates of biomass production, and the effects of varieties, espacement, nitrogen fertilizer, water availability and season are all given consideration.
