Sugarcane is an important Cash Crop in many Tropical and subtropical Countries and is one of the main source of Sugar production in the world. In addition to the publication of “Sugarcane: Crop production & Improvement” is timely and meaningful in view of the rapid Research Progress and fast expansion of sugar industry in India. This Book contains 26 articles by distinguished Sugarcane Scientists from all over India. The subject matter deals with new Technology developments for Improving sugarcane production and quality of sugar. This book gives a comprehensive Account of major problems of sugarcane production in India. All the important subjects are discussed at length with current research being carried out. The publication is timely in view of the rapid research developments and increasing sugarcane Cultivation through out the world. The information contained in various Topics is comprehensive, and provides useful information towards solving some of the basic and applied problems in sugarcane Crop production and improvement. In addition, it will serve as an up to date compendium of references on various aspects of sugarcane breeding, genetics, biotechnology, agronomy, Seed production, post- harvest deterioration, abiotic stresses, Integrated mineral nutrient management, till age and ratoon management, jiggery production etc.
