Sugarcane Sugarcane is the common name of a species of herb belonging to the grass family. The official classification of sugarcane is Saccharum officinarum, and it belongs to the family Gramineae. It is common in tropical and subtropical countries throughout the world. It can grow from eight to twenty feet tall, and is generally about 2 inches thick. Several different horticultural varieties are known, and they differ by their stem color and length (Anonymous, 1998). The common sugarcane has
Sugarcane is an important industrial crop for the tropical and subtropical region of the world. It is produced in more than 100 countries, with global production of 174 million tonnes sugar. It accounts for about 80 percent and sugarbeet for about 20 percent of total sugar produced (FAOSTAT, 2008). In 2010, 1,682 million metric tonnes (MT) of sugarcane were produced worldwide in a total area of 23.8 million hectares (ha). Brazil is the largest sugarcane producer, contributing with 40% of

1. Introduction Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is perennial herb plants belongs to Poaceae family, and has been widely cultivated on tropical and subtropical regions globally. Sugarcane is genetically complex crop that possesses highly variable chromosome number (octaploid; x = 10; 8x = 80). Being highly cross pollinated in nature, this crop requires specific, hot and humid climate for flowering (Gill et al, 2006). It is mainly propagated vegitatively by stem cutting and it gives many tillers
INDIA Introduction Sugar is extracted from two raw materials beet root and sugarcane , both produce identical refined sugar. Sugar cane accounts for two-third of the raw material used for sugar production in the world and beet root one third balance of the world production. India is the second largest producer of sugar in the world with 10 to 12% production of the world.( Brazil is the first) In India sugarcane accounts for the key raw material for production of sugar. Maharashtra and Uttar
Cane toads originated from South America, were introduced to Australia in the early 20th century and have been in Australia for nearly 70 years. Cane toads were relocated by the Europeans to control destructive beetles that destroyed sugarcane in Cairns approximately 2900 young toads were released in Australia, after a while the group of Europeans discovered cane toads were unsuccessful at removing the cane bugs. Cane toads spread throughout Queensland, Cane toads have spread south and west and now
believe that has the changed the world is Saccharum officinarum better known as sugarcane. Sugar cane is a member of the grass family and is given the botanical name of Saccharum officinarum. Like other grasses, sugarcane has jointed stems and sheathing leaf bases, with leaves, shoots, and roots all coming from these stem joints. (Macinnis, 2002) This plant has had a great impact on the world we know today. In the 1500s, sugarcane changed the world in a big way as it caused a trading increase between the
study Agrolistic transformation in Sugarcane and studies of associated problems. The work was carried out in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering, Vasantdada Sugar Institute, Pune during Jan 2014- May 2014. The materials used and the methods adopted are presented below: Plant material used Top portion of sugarcane of age varying from 4-10 months is used as initial explants however sugarcane of more than 6 months was not preferred. The sugarcane (Co86032) explants were collected
The Farming of Bones by Edwidge Danticat Talking about the culture brought throughout this book, your looking at a Latin American culture, specifically the Dominican/Haitian cultures. As I read this book, beyond the many numerous ways she worded her sentences and how the characters spoke, they often spoke with a definant difference than you would hear here in common U.S. language. They would constantly use inferences to what they were talking about rather than being direct to what they were
In Junot Diaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, he is telling the story of a Dominican family but mainly about the son, Oscar de Leon. The book opens with the story of Oscar as a child and him having two girlfriends at the same time. The older people in town see him as a ladies man and encourage him. The boy and the two girls all break up and his life seemed to be on a steady decline since then. He grows up to become a nerdy, fat, and awkward adolescence with few friends and even less interest
The Columbian exchange gave Europe the opportunity too no longer be limited by biological regime, it gave the Europeans the opportunity to become a global economic and ecological power house during the mid 15th to late 18th century. The exchange gave gave the Europeans this advantage for a number of reasons, those being local resources, resources gathered from European colonies, the distribution of different kinds of plants and animals to new areas, the spread of diseases. These causes for better
The intriguing concept of supply and demand in the Louisiana sugar cane industry would be described as resilience. Louisiana’s sugar industry dates back to the turn of the 18th century. How can such a bountiful crop have such a stagnant return? One example of resilience is the sugar factory M.A. Patout and sons. This is the oldest and largest sugar factory in Louisiana that is still family owned and operated. The factory was originally founded in 1825 as a wine vineyard, being later converted to
A festival holding costumes, foods, clothing, music and much more, crop over became a tradition for everyone to love. This Festival is a tradition which has been celebrated by my family and many other “Bajans” like myself. Starting in June and ending in August this two month long celebration not only just holds fun but, holds a deeper meaning behind what is celebrated but throughout the years. Cropover eventually became apart of the Barbadian culture as a celebration of fun and activities. Crop over
Picture Bride Picture Bride, released in 1995 and directed by Kayo Hatta, tells the story of many women living in Japan who were chosen to be brides by Japanese farm laborers living in Hawaii. The choice of the bride was based on their pictures. In this movie, Riyo wanted to leave Japan because her parents were killed by tuberculosis.

Rum is an alcoholic spirit distilled in one of two ways: either from molasses as part of the sugar-making process (known as Rum Industrial) or from the sugarcane juice itself (Rhum Agricole and Cachaca). Rum can only be made in countries that grow sugarcane. Rum can be distilled using a column or pot still. The type of still used during the process depends on which island is producing the rum. Column stills are mostly used by old Spanish colonies, while old English and French colonies mostly use
Organic Jaggery Production from Sugarcane Executive Summary: Sugar industry in India is a well-developed industry and one of the largest after textiles. It provides rural employment opportunities and plays an important role in Indian economy. Jaggery is also manufactured from sugarcane juice and is very widely used not only in individual households but also in many eateries, restaurants, clubs and hostels and it has certain industrial applications as well. Manufacture of sugar involves many technical
population prefers the sugarcane flavor. If only five percent of the population enjoys sugarcane, conducting any further research would be a waste of time. This research can be performed by looking at the current purchase history of sugar-cane-flavored products. Next, I would research sugarcane itself. I would research the history of sugarcane, understand where it came from and see if the current market or others nearby reject the product for cultural or religious reasons. If sugarcane did not conflict
South America required a great amount of slaves due to the rigorous process of sugarcane production. According to Epic World History, “Sugar making, especially in its New World incarnation, has been aptly described as an industry that depends on farming and factory production. Through a series of complex steps requiring substantial skill and technical infrastructure”(“Sugarcane Plantations in the Americas”). Slaves worked in hell-like heat for hours and this caused them to faint
dye, which became the colony’s first significant export. However, by the end of colonial period, forests were largely nonexistent (Kent 237). This led the colonists to seek another alternative export which in this case was agriculture, especially sugarcane, cacao, and pasture (Kent 237). Sugar cultivation essentially became the economic backbone throughout the remainder of the colonial period. Sugar cultivation led to the plantation system, which led to the transformation of Brazil (Kent 236). Brazil
