“…As a result, losses due to volatilization occurred during the ratoon cane crop. The observed increase in yield and tillering can also be explained by the characteristics of the sugarcane cultivar IACSP95-5094, which is known for its ability to regrow, increasing the number of tillers in the second cut and, consequently, the yield, compared to the plant cane [57,58]. The yield is directly associated with increased tillering and cane diameter, which are promoted by higher N uptake.…”

Although sugarcane yield is directly influenced by the availability of nitrogen (N), the efficiency of mineral N (MN) fertilization is considered to be low due to nitrate leaching and ammonia volatilization. Thus, the search for alternative sources of N that are cheaper and more consistent with sustainable farming practices has been stimulated. As chicken litter is an organic waste with the potential to supply N to major crops, we tested the hypothesis that the use of this litter as a source of organic N (ON) is as efficient as the application of MN (ammonium nitrate) in promoting the growth, nutrition, and yield of sugarcane plants grown during both plant cane and ratoon cane seasons. Experiments were conducted in a 5 × 5 × 2 subdivided plot scheme in the growing area of the Denusa Mill, Destilaria Nova União S/A, located in the midwest region of Brazil, with treatments consisting of five doses each of MN (0, 40, 80, 120, and 160 kg ha−1) and ON (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 T ha−1), evaluated in two crop seasons (plant cane-2019/2020 and ratoon cane-2020/2021). The application of different doses of MN or ON influenced the height and number of tillers of sugar cane plants, and the application of ON, supplied by chicken litter, to this crop was as efficient as that of MN in promoting plant growth. MN and ON also increased the leaf content of N, P, and K; moreover, the absence of one source of nitrogen was compensated by the other. ON application (up to 4.8 T ha−1) also increased sugarcane yield in addition to promoting growth. Furthermore, this study highlighted the superior quality of the regrowth observed in the IACSP95-5094 cultivar, which manifested in increased tillering and stem diameter, resulting in consistently higher yields in the ratoon crop.

“…In addition, the skillful execution of cutting techniques, traditionally performed by seasoned agriculturists, contributes significantly to preserving the final product's inherent sweetness and nuanced flavors. This discerning approach to sugarcane harvesting underscores the artistry inherent in producing exquisite rapadura [15].…”

Rapadura is a well-recognized sugar-cane-derived product with a sweet, characteristic flavor and hard texture. This product is a cultural Brazilian landmark, particularly in Ceará, Brazil, where it is usually produced by small family businesses and consumed locally. This feature contributes to the difficulties of rapadura production standardization, a requirement for the global market. Against this backdrop, this study focuses on analyzing the centesimal composition and mineral content of rapadura. Six samples from different cities in Ceará were analyzed for moisture, ash, lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, energy value, and minerals. The results ranged from 6.42–11.74% for moisture, 0.23–1.12% for ash, 0.49–0.92% for protein, 85.18–89.12% for lipids, and 352.00–391.19 Kcal for energy value. Significant variations were observed between the samples, showing a lack of standardization in the production process. The analysis of micronutrients revealed low levels, with copper and iron standing out in sample D. It can be concluded that the rapadura analyzed meets the physical-chemical parameters established by national legislation and is a food rich in carbohydrates and energy.
