Effect of Application Frequency on the Fate of Azinphsmethyl in a Sugarcane Field (November 1997)
Effect of Application Frequency on the Fate of Azinphsomethyl in a Sugarcane Field (November 1997)

Reducing the amounts of dissolved substances in surface and ground water is of major concern nationally and within the agricultural community. The primary focus of this study was to investigate the fate of azinphosmethyl (Guthion®) in sugarcane canopy, soil and runoff water.

Sugarcane Combine Harvester Ownership Costs (Fall 2001)
Sugarcane Combine Harvester Ownership Costs (Fall 2001)

This report presents annual ownership cost estimates associated with sugarcane combine harvesters. Two primary types of annual machinery ownership costs are defined, and estimates of these costs are calculated using current combine harvester purchase prices.

Costs of Precision Grading Sugarcane Fields to Increase Production (Winter 2000)
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.

Herbicide Retention and Runoff Losses as Affected by Sugarcane Mulch Residue (August 2004)
Herbicide Retention and Runoff Losses as Affected by Sugarcane Mulch Residue (August 2004)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of sugarcane residue (mulch cover) in reducing non-point source contamination of applied chemicals from sugarcane fields.

Runoff Losses of Atrazine, Metribuzin and Nutrients as Affected by Management Practices for Sugarcane (August 2000)
Runoff Losses of Atrazine, Metribuzin, and Nutrients as Affected by Management Practices for Sugarcane (August 2000)
A primary objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effectiveness of selected pesticide management practices on the movement of atrazine and metribuzin in surface runoff from sugarcane fields in south Louisiana.
