Brazil is a major sugarcane producer and its production more than doubled over the last
decades to meet global bioenergy demands for reducing crude oil dependency and …

This study presents a literature review of the main advances that took place in the last 10
years in the agricultural production of sugarcane in Brazil, which can effectively result in …

Best management practices for N fertilization should increase yields while reducing negative
environmental effects such as losses by ammonia (NH 3) volatilization and emission of …

Background and aims Understanding the fate of nitrogen (N) in maize (Zea mays L.)
intercropped with tropical grass is essential to develop sustainable fertilization …

Sugarcane is cultivated on about 26 M ha across tropics and subtropics worldwide as a
source of many industrial products, especially sugar and also bioenergy purposes (biofuel …

Knowing the influence of long-term N fertilization is a key aspect in improving the yield of
most crops, including sugarcane (Saccharum spp.). We aimed to assess the effect of N …

Conventional fertiliser nitrogen (N) inputs to sugarcane farming promote gaseous losses of
the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). This study investigated the effects of a nitrification …

The use of sugarcane straw is a promising option to enhance bioenergy production. But the
implications of straw removal for soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emission are not yet fully …

One of the steps needed to achieve sustainable bioenergy is to reduce our reliance on
synthetic nitrogen (N). Despite the fact that legume cover crops have the potential to …

Key message Nitrate uptake in sugarcane roots is regulated at the transcriptional and
posttranscriptional levels based on the physiological status of the plant and is likely a …
