“…Similarly, changes in atmospheric conditions can affect plant biomass which in turn influences cane and juice quality and sugar recovery [53]. Interestingly, it has recently been reported that while agriculturally relevant variables such as soil moisture tension do not significantly affect the quality of sugar cane juice, the Brix degrees and sucrose content may be affected [54].…”

The rum industry is currently worth USD 16 billion, with production concentrated in tropical countries of the Caribbean and Asia-Pacific regions. The primary feedstock for rum production is sugar cane molasses, a by-product of sugar refineries. The main variables known to affect rum quality include the composition of the molasses, the length of fermentation, and the type of barrels and length of time used for aging the rum. The goal of this review is to provide an overview of the impact of these variables on rum quality, and to highlight current challenges and opportunities in the production of rum from molasses. In order to achieve this, we review the relevant contemporary scientific literature on these topics. The major contemporary challenges in the rum production industry include minimising the effects of variability in feedstock quality, ensuring the fermentation process runs to completion, preventing microbial contamination, and the selection and maintenance of yeast strains providing optimum ethanol production. Stringent quality management practices are required to ensure consistency in the quality and organoleptic properties of the rum from batch to batch. Further research is required to fully understand the influences of many of these variables on the final quality of the rum produced.

“…Soil moisture is a key element in controlling land surface energy partitioning, surface water budget, and vegetation transpiration and carbon assimilation. Knowledge regarding the regional/global soil moisture state is essential for understanding, modeling, and forecasting of the weather/climate [e.g., Chen and Avissar, 1994;Koster et al, 2004;Miralles et al, 2014], flood/drought early warning and monitoring [e.g., Hirschi et al, 2011;Massari et al, 2014], and crop yield estimation [e.g., Ines et al, 2013;Alamilla-Magaña et al, 2016]. However, in situ observations are too sparse to provide large-scale spatiotemporal features of soil moisture.…”

Evaluation of SMAP, SMOS, and AMSR2 soil moisture retrievals against observations from two networks on the Tibetan Plateau

et al. 2017

Two soil moisture and temperature monitoring networks were established in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) during recent years. One is located in a semihumid area (Naqu) of central TP and consists of 56 soil moisture and temperature measurement (SMTM) stations, the other is located in a semiarid area (Pali) of southern TP and consists of 21 SMTM stations. In this study, the station data are used to evaluate soil moisture retrievals from three microwave satellites, i.e., the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) of NASA, the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) of European Space Agency, and the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. It is found that the SMAP retrievals tend to underestimate soil moisture in the two TP networks, mainly due to the negative biases in the effective soil temperature that is derived from a climate model. However, the SMAP product well captures the amplitude and temporal variation of the soil moisture. The SMOS product performs well in Naqu network with acceptable error metrics but fails to capture the temporal variation of soil moisture in Pali network. The AMSR2 products evidently exaggerate the temporal variation of soil moisture in Naqu network but dampen it in Pali network, suggesting its retrieval algorithm needs further improvements for the TP.

“…Rainfed land farmers generally planted sugar cane in August because they rely on rain water, while irrigated land farmers generally planted in June. Sugar cane plants that are not watered or are in a state of water stress will result in a substantial reduction in sugar cane yield and sugar production (Alamilla-Magaña et al, 2016).…”

This study aimed to analyze (1) the difference levels of motivation, perception and behavioral responses of sugar cane farmers with irrigated land and rainfed land to the cane grower management consolidation plan, and (2) the effect of motivation and perception on farmers' behavioral responses related to the cane grower management consolidation plan. The research location was in the sugar factories of PT Perkebunan Nusantara XI. The samples consisting of sugar cane farmers with irrigated land and rainfed land who were randomly selected, amounting to 242 respondents. Novelty of research, there are object and analytical methods. The difference levels of motivation, perceptions and behavioral responses of farmers with irrigated land and rainfed land were analyzed by independent sample t-test. The influence of perception and motivation on the behavioral response of farmers to the cane grower management consolidation plan was analyzed by multiple linear regression. The results showed that, the level of motivation and perceptions of sugar cane farmers there were differences between farmers with irrigated land and rainfed land. Meanwhile, in terms of the response of farmers, there was no significant difference between irrigated land and rainfed land. The influence of motivation, perception, education, dummy variables of Purwodadi and Pradjekan sugar factories significantly influenced farmers' behavioral responses to the cane grower management consolidation plan. To improve the behavioral response of farmers, it is necessary to provide supervision regarding the management of cane grower and the benefits that farmers will obtain from the program to make farmers interested in understanding the objectives of the program.
