Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricacies of sugarcane breeding, a specialized field aimed at developing superior varieties for the temperate climate. The author meticulously describes the techniques employed to produce true seeds, the cornerstone of genetic improvement in sugarcane. The text begins by tracing the historical evolution of sugarcane breeding, highlighting the challenges faced by early breeders in inducing flowering and ensuring high seed set. It goes on to discuss the significance of selecting parental material based on disease resistance, insect tolerance, and cold hardiness. The crux of the book lies in its exploration of advanced breeding techniques, including the use of photoperiod houses and greenhouses to manipulate environmental conditions and promote flowering. The author provides detailed accounts of practices such as air layering and the use of live roots to maintain flowering stalks. The book concludes by emphasizing the profound impact of these techniques on sugarcane breeding, enabling the development of new varieties with enhanced traits for disease resistance, insect tolerance, and adaptability to specific climates. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
