Sugarcane Smut in Louisiana: Biology and Control (April 1993)
Research was undertaken to determine the factors that affect the increase of smut and the extent of the threat posed to the Louisiana industry by the disease. In addition, research was focused on the nature and inheritance of disease resistance and determining the best methods for developing resistant cultivars. The results of these research projects and recommendations for minimizing losses to smut through disease management practices on the farm are presented in this bulletin. |

Costs of Precision Grading Sugarcane Fields to Increase Production (Winter 2000)
This report presents cost estimates of precision grading sugarcane fields for which the sugarcane producer purchases the laser-leveling and dirt-moving equipment and performs the work with farm labor. Both variable and fixed costs associated with precision grading are estimated on a per hour of operation basis as well as costs per acre and per cubic yard of dirt moved. |
