The Questionnaire of Sugarcane and Quality Control is a combination of agricultural and chemical science. In agricultural and chemical sciences, all activities should be completed within a specified timeframe because time is critical for crop yield and quality of the final product. This book discusses activities aimed at yield increase and discusses planting to harvesting the crop as well as quality aspects from the sugarcane field to sugar manufacture. It is hoped that the book will serve as a repository of information and prove to be highly useful for sugar industry professionals, agriculture students and growers.
