Sugarcane Growth, Sucrose Content, And Yield Response To The Ripeners Glyphosate And Trinexapac-Ethyl, Albert Joseph Orgeron
Sugarcane Growth, Sucrose Content, And Yield Response To The Ripeners Glyphosate And Trinexapac-Ethyl, Albert Joseph Orgeron
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Under Louisiana climatic conditions, production of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is limited to a maximum growth period of nine months. To increase sucrose concentration in the crop, ripener is applied prior to harvest. The chemical ripeners, glyphosate and trinexapac-ethyl were applied to the sugarcane cultivars HoCP 96-540, L 99-226, L 99-233, HoCP 00-950, and L 01-283 eight weeks prior to harvest. When glyphosate was applied at 210 g ae/ha, TRS for the cultivars was increased 10 to 28% compared with the nontreated. Increases in TRS with glyphosate were greatest for HoCP 96-540 and L 99-226 and least for HoCP 00-950 and …
Effect Of Exogenous Application Of Ascorbic Acid On Antioxidant Enzyme Activities, Proline Contents, And Growth Parameters Of Saccharum Spp. Hybrid Cv. Hsf-240 Under Salt Stress, Batool Ejaz, Zahoor Ahmad Sajid, Faheem Aftab
Effect Of Exogenous Application Of Ascorbic Acid On Antioxidant Enzyme Activities, Proline Contents, And Growth Parameters Of Saccharum Spp. Hybrid Cv. Hsf-240 Under Salt Stress, Batool Ejaz, Zahoor Ahmad Sajid, Faheem Aftab
Turkish Journal of Biology
The present study was undertaken to examine the effects of exogenous application of ascorbic acid (AA) through different modes on growth and associated biochemical parameters in Saccharum spp. hybrid cv. HSF-240, under salt stress. In a pot experiment, AA was applied through irrigation or foliar-spray at the concentrations of 0.1, 0.5, and 1 mM with or without 100 mM NaCl concentration. Vegetative growth measurements, antioxidant enzyme activities (POD and SOD), and protein and proline contents of plants were recorded to study the effects of these treatments. The presence of salt reduced the growth of sugarcane plants. The AA application not …
Development And Utilization Of Molecular Markers To Study Genetic Diversity Of Smooth Cordgrass And Cold Tolerance Sugarcane, Lina Bernaola Alvarado
Development And Utilization Of Molecular Markers To Study Genetic Diversity Of Smooth Cordgrass And Cold Tolerance Sugarcane, Lina Bernaola Alvarado
LSU Master's Theses
Smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora Loisel) and sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids) are both grasses that belong to the family Poaceae and have significant impact on Louisiana environment and economy. Coastal Louisiana accounts to ~80% of the national wetland loss through natural and human interventions; (re)vegetation is considered an important component of coastal restoration efforts. Smooth cordgrass, a warm season marsh grass, is used as an ecosystem engineer to stabilize and restore Louisiana coastal marshes. In this study, genetic diversity was determined among 13 elite smooth cordgrass accessions of Louisiana through 276 polymorphic markers generated by 23 SSR and 32 RAPD primers. …
Improving Nitrogen Management In Sugarcane Production Of The Mid-South Using Remote Sensing Technology, Joshua Lofton
Improving Nitrogen Management In Sugarcane Production Of The Mid-South Using Remote Sensing Technology, Joshua Lofton
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
In Louisiana, current N rate recommendations for sugarcane production are based on multiple year N response trials and refined based on soil and crop variables. Without accounting for current growing conditions, recommendations can potentially lead to over- or under-application of N. The objectives of this research were to 1) determine the ability of an in-season response index value (RINDVI) to estimate sugarcane yield response index (RIHarvest), 2) determine if sugarcane yield potential could be determined using normalized difference vegetative index (NDVI), and 3) estimate the optimum N rate and application timing for sugarcane production in Louisiana. Experiments were established in …
