This book reviews the conceptual and theoretical background of Saccharum botany, which underlies the growing of sugarcane as a total growth commodity. Management details are provided for energy cane planting, cultivation, harvest, and postharvest operations. Chapters on energy cane utilization stress new developments in lignocellulose conversion plus alternative options for fermentable solids usage. Chapters are also included for the management of alternative grasses to supplement energy cane, and the breeding of new hybrid canes with high biomass attributes at the intergeneric and interspecific levels. The text is thoroughly documented, and a bibliography of 640 references is included. Agricultural concepts and technologies are illustrated with numerous photographs and drawings, and extensive use is made of tabulated data.
