Evolution of the agronomic and environmental phosphorus status of soils in Mauritius after a seven year sugarcane crop cycle
The intensive application of P fertilisers in sugarcane production has probably resulted in P levels which could be of concern to freshwater quality in Mauritius. Only very small amounts of P must be lost from the soil to create a P concentration in freshwater ecosystems likely to cause eutrophication...

Pollen studies in Erianthus arundinaceous, Saccharum officinarum and commercial S.officinarum clones
The combination of genes from various genera and species is possible only when pollination can be effected. Thus the anthesis time and pollen viability of Erianthus arundinaceous (wild cane), Saccharum officinarum (Badila), S.officinarum cultivar, Spartan and another cultivar LF02-48 were studied.

Baseline climatology of four sugar mill stations in Fiji and current climatic trends.
The purpose of this paper is to characterize observed behavior of surface climate at the four major sugar producing cane regions in Fiji (Lautoka, Rarawai, Penang and Labasa Mill areas) during the instrumental period and up to present, providing an impression of ongoing climate trends and how this might have affected exposure units of interest...
