Sugarcane seedling emergence is important for sugar production. Manual counting time-consuming and hardly practicable large-scale field planting. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with fast acquisition speed wide coverage are becoming increasingly popular in precision agriculture. We provide a method based on improved Faster RCNN automatically detecting sugarcane seedlings using photography. The ...

introduction sugarcane, a plant which sugar is extracted from, is planted in vast areas with hot and humid climate. brazil is the largest producer of sugarcane in the world. the next five major producers, in decreasing order, are india, china, thailand, pakistan and mexico. sugarcane is a tropical, perennial grass that forms lateral shoots at the base to produce multiple stems, typically three ...

Sugarcane is an important cash crop grown in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. India is the second largest producer of sugar after Brazil and accounts for 16 per cent of world production (GOI, 2015). In Andhra Pradesh, sugarcane is grown in 1.39 lakh hectares with a production of 99.8 lakh tones. However, the sugarcane productivity (71 tonnes/ha) is very low compared to states lik...

Sugarcane is a unique crop with the ability to accumulate high levels of sugar and is a commercially viable source of biomass for bioelectricity and second-generation bioethanol. Water deficit is the single largest abiotic stress affecting sugarcane productivity and the development of water use efficient and drought tolerant cultivars is an imperative for all major sugarcane producing countries...

In a single experiment, field-grown Louisiana sugarcane was augmented with phytoparasitic nematodes, treated with aldicarb, or left untreated in both weedy and weed-free habitats to study interactions among nematodes, weeds, sugarcane, and sugarcane free amino acid titers. Aldicarb reduced three of the six phytoparasitic nematode genera at various times during the two growing seasons and was as...

Antioxidant capacities and phytochemicals such as phenolics, flavonoids, triterpenoids, phytosterols of four parts of two sugarcane cultivars have been characterised. The total triterpenoid content (TTC), total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and total sterol content (TSC) were different among parts and cultivars of sugarcane. The node of both cultivars contained the highe...

India has the second highest area under sugarcane cultivation, next to Brazil. Sugarcane is cultivated 4.7 million ha with productivity of 72 tonnes/ha. Tamil Nadu ranks first in country, recording an average more than 100 tonne/ha. Manual sett cutting method time consuming, expensive, and involves human drudgery. To reduce drudgery involved operation, cutter developed 3.7 kW diesel engine, bas...

Sugarcane cultivation is hindered by several biotic constraints of which viral disease plays a major disaster. This study was carried out to evaluate the virus situation sugarcane germplasm in western Cameroon, consisting three regions (Southwest, Northwest and West region). A survey 66 villages these regions. Landraces identified included SMU58, SBK36, SNC16, NBfPc48 NBfAg53. Representative sa...
