"In this timely publication, Dr Rott has sourced contributions from
scientists working on cane throughout the tropics...Richly
referenced, this is both an informed and informative book that is
well written. It will appeal to both researchers and cane growers."
International Sugar Journal/Agribusiness intelligence Sugarcane is
the source of over three quarters of the world's sugar, and is
grown widely in the tropics and sub-tropics. Despite rising demand,
average yields have not increased significantly, partly because of
continued vulnerability to pests and diseases. In addition,
cultivation has been seen as damaging biodiversity and soil health
with a negative effect on both yields and the environment. This
volume summarises the wealth of research addressing these
challenges. Volume 1 reviews cultivation techniques and
sustainability issues. Part 1 summarises current best practice in
sugarcane cultivation across the value chain, from planting through
to post-harvest operations. Part 2 looks at ways of measuring the
environmental impact of sugarcane cultivation as well as ways of
supporting smallholders. With its distinguished editor and
international team of expert authors, this will be a standard
reference for sugarcane scientists, growers, government and
non-governmental agencies responsible for supporting and monitoring
the impact of sugarcane cultivation. It is accompanied by a
companion volume reviewing breeding, pest and disease management.
