	Sugarcane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sugarcane or Sugar cane (Saccharum) is a genus of between 6 and 37 species (depending on taxonomic interpretation) of tall grasses (family Poaceae, tribe Andropogoneae), native to warm temperate to tropical regions of the Old World.
		Sugarcane cultivation requires a tropical or subtropical climate, with a minimum of 600 mm (24 in) of annual moisture.
		Sugarcane is propagated from cuttings rather than from seed.

	Crop Water Management - Sugarcane (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Sugarcane has high nitrogen and potassium needs and relatively low phosphate requirements, or 100 to 200 kg/ha N, 20 to 90 kg/ha P and 125 to 160 kg/ha K for a yield of 100 ton/ha cane, but application rates are sometimes higher.
		Sugarcane is moderately sensitive to salinity and decrease in crop yield due to increasing salinity is: 0% at ECe 1.7 mmhos/cm, 10% at 3.3, 25% at 6.0, 50% at 10.4 and 100% at ECe 18.6 mmhos / cm.
		The response of sugarcane to irrigation is greater during the vegetative and early yield formation periods (1 and 3a) than during the later part of the yield formation period (3b), when active leaf area is declining and the crop is less able to respond to sunshine.

	Meagher: Sugarcane IPM
		Sugarcane (interspecific hybrids of Saccharum) is originally from southeastern Asia, possibly New Guinea, and was brought to the Western Hemisphere by Columbus.
		Soil sugarcane insect pests are represented by Coleoptera (Curculionidae, Elateridae, and Scarabaeidae), Isoptera (Mastotermitidae, Rhinotermitidae, and Termitidae), Hymenoptera (Formicidae), Diptera (Stratiomyidae), Heteroptera (Cicadidae, Cydnidae, Margarodidae, and Pseudococcidae), and Orthoptera (Gryllidae and Gryllotalpidae).

	Project CTA046: Perfect markers for sugarcane mapping (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		At the start of this project, molecular mapping in sugarcane was relatively new with maps being developed in interspecific crosses or within the selfed progeny of a variety.
		Further research is now needed to determine whether the association is coincidental, in which case the candidate gene is still a useful marker, or whether the gene is implicated in the expression of the trait, in which case it could provide valuable information on the underlying genetics, biochemistry and physiology of the trait itself.
		It has demonstrated the value of comparative mapping between small and larger sugarcane maps, the usefulness of the candidate gene approach as a source of useful markers in sugarcane, and the variety of candidate gene mapping techniques currently available.
