The composition of sugar cane varieties which planted are not balanced especially in the nursery sector that caused the efficiency of the sugar industry on national scale low. This condition happens because there are risks faced by farmers in determining the varieties of sugarcane that will be planted. The aim of this study was to analyze the risk of production and strategies to overcome the risks due to the selection of sugar cane varieties. Samples used in the study were 30 people (12 sugarcane farmers, 6 managers, and assistant plant managers, and 12 people from APTR / KPTR. Data were analyzed using the method of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). Research Results indicate that the risks classified as very high categories that can be caused by the selection of certain sugar cane varieties are production risk, sugar quality risk and sugar price-output risk Risk management that can be applied to reduce the risk due to variety selection is to use superior varieties, the development of new varieties which has high productivity, increase cultivation technology by farmers, and unloads ratoon after 2 times harvesting.

In desert conditions, corn is one of the most promising crops due to its resistance to salinity, drought, heat, adverse environmental conditions, high productivity and versatility. Conducting field experiments, sowing, phonological observations, biometric measurements, plant care, yield determination new varieties of agricultural crops were performed. Samples were also evaluated on the length of the paniculo. In particular, it was 44.7 cm in the control K–521, followed by 40.8 cm in K-431, 49.9 cm in K-581 and 55.4 cm in K-538, whereas in the technical variants, it was 55.4 cm in K-538, 50 cm at K-368, and even it was 65 cm in K-494. Of the 57 samples studied, only 8, № 9, 15, 17, 26, 27, 31, 42, 46 samples were found suitable for future selection work. Valuable aspects of these samples were that flowering period was 75-108 days, milk-ripening period was 87-108 days, and full ripening period was 118-130 days. These indicators were 76 days of germination, 79 days of flowering, 91 days of milk ripening and 127 days of full ripening in the “Orange-160” maize. It was found that the repining period of “Orange” maize was 9 days earlier than the control varieties, 9, 15 and 17.

One of the major research activities of the Mauritius Sugar Industry Research Institute (MSIRI) is the breeding and selection of sugarcane varieties adapted to the different agro-climatic environments. Most of the on-farm experimentation is carried out in the fields of miller-planters (planters who own the sugar mills), where resources in terms of land, labour and other inputs are usually easily available. The non-miller-planters are operating in environments which are not always similar to those of the miller-planters. There is a need for on-farm experimentation under these conditions in order to improve productivity. Variety trials, observation plots and industrial trials to compare commercial varieties with promising and newly released ones have been established on-farm in order to improve the adoption rate of new varieties. The paper elaborates on the objectives of this major extension activity during the last decade. A major inference is that the planters obtain first-hand information on promising varieties prior to their release for commercial plantation, hence influencing their decision for adoption or rejection. Moreover, additional information on the performance and behaviour of these promising varieties is made available to research staff.

The Australian sugar industry in the 1890s faced an agricultural crisis, as the standard cane varieties succumbed to the disease gummosis. Australian scientists were engaged by the Queensland Government and the Colonial Sugar Refining Company (CSR) to identify new, gummosis-resistant cane varieties. This paper begins by outlining the organizations and personalities involved in this research. The distribution of the new varieties throughout Australian sugar-producing districts is reconstructed in the second part of the paper. In the final section, the economic benefits of the new varieties are reviewed. The scientists involved not only sought gummosis-resistant cane varieties, but also those that were sucrose-rich. Hence, what began as a potential agricultural catastrophe, benefited the Australian sugar industry in the long-term, since the new varieties yielded more sugar and a damaging disease was defeated, albeit temporarily.

AbstractElephants are threatened globally by habitat loss, poaching and accelerating levels of human–elephant conflict. For Elephas maximus in Cambodia, crop raiding underlies this conflict. Understanding the timing of raids and selection of crops can help design locally appropriate mitigation and management strategies. This study, using a 4-year database of events, investigated the most frequently raided crops and patterns of raids, over time and seasons and by location. Damage frequency varied significantly by crop, with rice, banana, cassava, sugar cane and papaya most frequently raided. Considering raid events per unit crop area, banana, sugar cane and pineapple were raided more than would be expected based on their availability. There were differences in both crop-raiding events and crop-damage frequencies over study years and there was a peak raiding season in October–December. Nationally, significant differences were found among provinces but not between years. Rates of damage decreased after mitigation strategies such as observation towers, deterrents and fences were implemented. We suggest further mechanisms to improve human–elephant conflict monitoring in relation to crop choice and availability.

Несовершенство используемого сортимента – серьезная проблема при выращивании томата в открытом грунте, в том числе и на юге России. Возделывают как старые малоурожайные сорта, так и импортные с низкой адаптивностью. Необходим переход на современные технологии возделывания, позволяющие более полно проявить продуктивный потенциал новых сортов и гибридов томата. Цель исследований: оценка современного состояния и определение перспектив селекции томата для условий открытого грунта юга России. Исследования проводили в открытом грунте ССЦ «Ростовский» компании «Поиск», расположенном в Октябрьском районе Ростовской области в 2016–2020 годах. Материалом для исследований служили сорта и гибриды томата отечественной и иностранной селекции, рекомендованные к использованию в Российской Федерации для возделывания в открытом грунте. Основными лимитирующими факторами в период выращивания томата в открытом грунте были высокие температуры, низкая относительная влажность воздуха и недостаточное естественное увлажнение. Почвы в опытах представлены черноземом обыкновенным с содержанием гумуса 3,6%, рН – 7,8. Рассаду томата выращивали в кассетах в разводочной необогреваемой теплице с забегом 30 дней. Растения высаживали по схеме 70×30 см. Срок высадки – 2–3 декада мая при прогреве почвы на глубине 10 см до 8–10 °C и отсутствии опасности заморозков. Технология возделывания включала капельное орошение и систему фертигации. Учеты и наблюдения за растениями вели по общепринятым методикам. В исследованиях установлена необходимость создания сортимента с высокой продуктивностью, лежкостью и транспортабельностью, устойчивостью к биотическим и абиотическим факторам среды, с признаками пригодности для конкретных направлений использования. Особое значение имеет создание сортов и гибридов томата с высокими потребительскими качествами, а также раннеспелых. Наряду с созданием сортимента для промышленного производства есть потребность в создании эксклюзивных сортов и гибридов, спрос на которые имеет тенденцию к росту, в том числе в товарном секторе. The problem when growing tomatoes in the open ground is the imperfection of the assortment used, including South of Russia. Both old low-yielding varieties and imported ones with low adaptability are cultivated. It is necessary to switch to new cultivation technologies that allow us to more fully demonstrate the productive potential of new varieties and hybrids of tomato. The purpose of the research is to assess the current state and determine the prospects of tomato breeding for open ground conditions in Russia. The research was carried out in the open ground of the Rostovskiy breeding and seed production centre of Poisk Agrofirm, located in the Oktyabrsky district of the Rostov region in 2016–2020. The research materials were varieties and hybrids of tomato of domestic and foreign selection, recommended for use in the Russian Federation for cultivation in the open ground. The main limiting factors during the period of growing tomatoes in the open ground were high temperatures, low relative humidity and insufficient natural moisture. The soils in the experiments are represented by ordinary chernozem with a humus content of 3.6%, pH – 7.8. Tomato seedlings were grown in cassettes in a non-heated greenhouse with a run of 30 days. The plants were planted according to the scheme of 70×30 cm. The planting period is 2–3 decades of May when the soil is heated at a depth of 10 cm to 8–10 °C and there is no danger of frost. Cultivation technology with drip irrigation and fertigation system. Records and observations of plants were conducted according to generally accepted methods. The research has established the need to create a assortment with high productivity, shelf life and transportability, resistance to biotic and abiotic environmental factors, with signs of suitability for specific areas of use. Of particular importance is the creation of tomato varieties and hybrids with high consumer qualities, as well as early-ripening ones. Along with the creation of assortment for industrial production, there is a need to create exclusive varieties and hybrids, the demand for which tends to grow, including in the commodity sector.

RCM provides a structured and practical approach for arriving at an acceptable maintenance strategy for each component of a given system. In this paper, a study on reliability centered maintenance (RCM) has been conducted to reduce the total number of failures and its effects on the conventional lathe machine. The risk priority number (RPN) is, one of the key factors in determining the critical ranking of a failure mode of the mechanical equipment but there is a drawback in determining the critical ranking from RPN. There might be more than one failure modes which can share the same RPN number and therefore critical ranking cannot be assigned to those failure modes. Initially, the Severity, Occurrence and Detection rating integrating with failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is taken from several experts and then RPN is calculated for each of those experts. Then the criticality of the failure mode of the functionally significant items of conventional lathe machine is judged on the basis of mean RPN value as well as using the range. Overall the risk or criticality level of each failure mode is identified. After that, RCM logic is used for selection of a proper maintenance strategy for each failure mode.

The most important factor in the intensification and rise of the production of the cotton industry in Tajikistan is the selection of new varieties characterized by high yield and its quality. The increase in the production of the cotton industry can be achieved not by expansion of acreage, since this possibility is very limited in a mountainous country, but by breeding new varieties of cotton and spreading them into production. The use of photosynthetic test characteristics in breeding contributes to the process of creating new varieties that meet the demand of agricultural production and the textile industry, i.e. varieties with a complex of economically useful features — precocity, high productivity, resistance to diseases and pests, optimal adaptive properties, characterized by high fiber yield and its technological quality. By methods of hybridization and selection by offspring on the basis of photosynthetic test characteristics from domestic and foreign variety samples, 28 introgressive genotypes were created that are characterized by complex of economically useful traits. It was found that out of the 28 genotypes of medium-fiber cotton studied by us, according to the main indicators of productivity — the number of full-fledged boxes per plant, the mass of raw cotton of one box and the yield — 6 genotypes were notable. The number of boxes per plant in the most productive was 12–15 pieces, the mass of raw cotton of one box is up to 6.6 g, and the yield of raw cotton is from 71.5 to 93.0 g/plant, which is significantly higher than in the standard Hisor variety.
