How to control flowering in sugarcane?
Sugarcane is a vegetatively propogated crop.
Most recent answer
Temperature and rainfall during September month. Flowering is generally observed in spring planted sugarcane but flowering is rarely observed in autumn planted sugarcane . So planting of sugarcane in autumn season can be helpful in controlling flowering. Climatic conditions during first fortnight of September decide the extent of flowering.

Spray of ethrel at 500 ppm concentration (100ml per 100 litres water per acre) during the second fortnight of July as a mist over crop canopy helps in suppression of flowering completely. Higher dosage should be avoided

Inhibition of flowering in sugarcane by ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid) is well-documented.

Four factors , Rajesh Kumar , temperature, Dark period , humidity and age
but the problem is synchronization between varieties

Apply ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid). The inhibition of flowering in sugarcane by ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid) applied to experimental plots is well-documented.

less than 18°C at night will prevent flowering. High minimum temperatures appear to be more important during floral initiation. flowering. initiation is likely to make flowering more profuse.

It's pully depending upon date and time of planting. If u plant July I.e adsali it will reduce the rate of flowering. If you plant at January I.e akasali it will increase the rate of flowering.

Error accepting a file. How can I solve this problem?
I'm trying to upload to ResearchGate the pdf file relating to a newly published book but I receive the error message: "Error parsing server response".
The file, which is approximately 89 MB long and works perfectly, was uploaded without problems to Google Books (search on Google Books for “libertini vie d'Italia vol. I”) and on another site (http://www.iststudiatell .org/p_isa/NE/Vie_e_città_Italia_Vol_I.pdf).
How good is Qeios as an academic journal?
This weekend, I decided to accept an invitation to review a paper by a new journal called Qeios. It is a journal without an editor, but I learnt that it is controlled by AI rather than traditional humans as journal editors/editorial assistants. It also supports Open Science and open review methods.
It appears that Qeios utilises AI to find out the best reviewers from databases across the world. This gets new people to review, and these people are always related to the topic, and are mostly experts! This is an example of AI being harnessed for good!
As an author, I have not published here but as a reviewer, it is my first review feedback that has been posted or reviews in #Qeios journal.
From my initial finding, these Qeios papers are basically preprints, which means that the authors can receive about 10 comments to improve the quality of the submission. That does not mean it will be accepted for final publication.
Although, the paper also gets a DOI, then it gets indexed on google scholar! You can find my first review for the journal online, at https://www.qeios.com/read/CLC992 for the paper's preprint which has DOI: https://doi.org/10.32388/CLC992
Their papers can be searched on Google and some scholars as well as academic experts have already endorsed #Qeios papers. What about you? Will you publish in it? Will you review for the journal?Does it look like it will overtake traditional journals? What are their advantages and disadvantages?

When sugarcane flowers, vegetative growth is terminated and this can lead to yield losses. Applied ethephon disrupts the flowering process, thereby potentially mitigating the effects of flowering. The results from using ethephon to suppress flowering in several experiments are reported. They show that ethephon could have large negative effects on y...
