Download or read book Sugar cane and Sugar Industry in Nigeria written by Abdul-Latif D. Busari and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book chronicles the mainly government efforts at developing a viable sugar industry and the factors that militated against such efforts. Sections of the book also examine the performance of the global sugar/sweetener industry and the various benefits to be derived therefrom. For students, scientists and researchers, it provides insights into the sugar-cane plant: its geographical distribution, production techniques, processing technologies, as well as utilisation of its major by-products. Finally, given the fact that Nigeria still has an obvious comparative advantage for the production of cane and sugar, it provides a number of recommendations on what needs to be done for the country to become a notable player in the global sugar market."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: This volume aims to provide information on sugar cane and its cultivation. Details about this important crop, its life cycle, physiology, cropping cycle, optimum soil and climate conditions are given. The text also covers practical growing techniques, including soil preparation, planting, fertilization, irrigation and crop maintenance. In the final sections, harvesting of sugar cane is looked at as well as a comparison of different methods of cultivation - from small plantations to industrial estates. Detailed tables will also provide the reader with information on the growing, assessment and harvesting of this crop.

Download or read book Disease Resistance in Plants written by J.E. Vanderplank and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disease Resistance in Plants, Second Edition, looks at genetic, epidemiologic, biochemical, and biometric principles for developing new cultivars possessing genetic resistance to diseases. It examines the nature of disease resistance and resistance genes, and it highlights the importance of stabilizing selection, sugar, biotrophy, and necrotrophy to obtain the greatest possible yields. Organized into 17 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of disease resistance in plants and the ways to develop disease-resistant variants. It then discusses unspecific resistance; the resistance gene paradox; susceptibility and resistance within narrow host taxa; phenotypic variation and gene numbers in host plants; discontinuous variation and cytoplasmic inheritance; and experimental difficulties in partitioning variance. The reader is also introduced to epistasis and the structure of virulence in pathogens; the notion of physiological race; how the pathogen adapts to the host; mutation in the pathogen from avirulence to virulence; horizontal and vertical resistance to disease and its epidemiological effects; and the link between protein polymorphism and vertical resistance. In addition, the book discusses genes for susceptibility in the host versus genes for avirulence (or virulence) in the pathogen; sink-induced loss of resistance; high-sugar disease processes and biotrophy; slow rusting of cereal crops; plant resistance against endemic disease; and the accumulation of resistance genes in heterogeneous host populations. This book will be useful to plant pathologists and plant breeders.

Download or read book The Sugar Plantation in India and Indonesia written by Ulbe Bosma and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-07 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European markets almost exclusively relied on Caribbean sugar produced by slave labor until abolitionist campaigns began around 1800. Thereafter, importing Asian sugar and transferring plantation production to Asia became a serious option for the Western world. In this book, Ulbe Bosma details how the British and Dutch introduced the sugar plantation model in Asia and refashioned it over time. Although initial attempts by British planters in India failed, the Dutch colonial administration was far more successful in Java, where it introduced in 1830 a system of forced cultivation that tied local peasant production to industrial manufacturing. A century later, India adopted the Java model in combination with farmers' cooperatives rather than employing coercive measures. Cooperatives did not prevent industrial sugar production from exploiting small farmers and cane cutters, however, and Bosma finds that much of modern sugar production in Asia resembles the abuses of labor by the old plantation systems of the Caribbean.
