“…This could be due to the contamination of bagasse during the sugar production process. Indeed the sugar cane stalks are crushed in a mill using rollers [42]. The typical range of Al in soils vary from 10,000 to 300,000 mg/kg [43].…”

“…Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) is one of the five strategic products in the world and is considered as one of the best converters of solar energy to biomass and sugar (Yadav and Solomon, 2006). Sugarcane has an important role in the agriculture tradition of Khuzestan.…”

Pirhadi et al.: Impact of soil salinity on diversity and community of sugarcane endophytic plant growth promoting bacteria (Saccharum officinarum L. Abstract. The aim of this study was to isolate and identify culturable bacterial endophytes from sugarcane grown in saline and non-saline soil and assay some plant growth-related traits and evaluate selective isolate potential to improve growth, yield and grain phosphorus uptake of wheat. Endophytic bacteria associated with sugarcane grown in saline and non-saline soil were isolated from roots, stems and leave and tested for their ability to fix nitrogen, indole acetic acid (IAA) production and dissolution of insoluble phosphorus. A total of 55 endophytic bacteria were isolated from leaves, stems, and roots of sugarcane from saline and nonsaline soil. The results revealed a prevalence of Bacillaceae, with Bacillus sp. being the most frequently isolated bacterium. Salinity had the effect on bacterial community structure with the higher diversity of root entophytic bacteria in saline soils. From the isolates, four strains were shown to produce IAA and 19 strains showed the ability to solubilize phosphate, but twelve isolates having the best characteristics tests were identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. From the isolates Pseudomonas sp. SugS_49 with more phosphorus dissolution ability selected for evaluation on wheat growth. Application of Pseudomonas sp. SugS_49 caused increased growth, grain yield and phosphorus uptake of wheat.

“…Pressmud is the solid waste obtained in the clarification process of sugarcane juice. Each ton of processed sugarcane produces about 0.03 ton of pressmud [6]. Pressmud is insoluble, takes long time for natural decomposition and generates intense heat with foul odor [7].…”

Abstract. The present paper discusses the role of earthworms in recycling of sugar industrial wastes. The wastes generated from sugar industry are pressmud, bagasse, bagasse fly ash, sugar cane trash, sugar beet mud, sugar beet pulp, molasses etc. These wastes when mixed with other organic substrates become ideal mixtures for growth of earthworms. These wastes if stored in open field's causes contamination in the environment and may cause several diseases in public health. But the governments have been unable to tackle the menace of solid waste pollution due to dearth of appropriate technologies, finance and space. Therefore, environment friendly and cost effective technologies for nutrient recycling or remediation of wastes are being advocated as an alternative means for conserving and replenishing natural resources of the ecosystems. Vermicomposting is one such technology that synergises microbial degradation with earthworm's activity for reducing, reusing and recycling waste materials in a shorter span of time. Earthworm technology can convert sugar industrial wastes into valuable fertilizing material. The final product (vermicompost) produced during the process of vermicomposting is nutrient rich organic fertilizer with plant available nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, calcium and phosphorus. In the present study an attempt has been made to document the role of earthworms in reuse of sugar industry waste.
