Cultivation of sugarcane in India dates back to the Vedic period. The earliest mention of sugarcane cultivation is found in Indian writings of the period to B. It is now widely accepted that India is the original home of Saccharum species.
Saccharum barberi and Polynesian group of island especially New Guinea is the centre of origin of S. It belongs to family Gramineae Poaceae , class monocotyledons and order glumaceae sub family panicoidae, tribe Andripogoneae and sub tribe saccharininea.
The cultivated canes belong to two main groups: a thin, hardy north Indian types S. Sinense and b thick, juicy noble canes Saccharum officinarum. Highly prized cane is S. Broadly there are two distinct agro-climatic regions of sugarcane cultivation in India, viz.
It grew plentifully in the southern states and was a major source of income for many plantations. High labor costs in the United States led to the industry's rapid conversion to mechanical harvesting in the early s.
When harvested, it's cut just above the root level so new sprouts will grow, ready to be harvested again in months. Sugar cane plants grow to be feet high. Sugar Assoc. Sugarcane is grown primarily in the tropics and subtropics. Cane for sugar was Florida, the top producing state, produced more than That same year, Louisiana produced more than 15 million tons of sugarcane.
Texas also produce more than 1. After peaking in at pounds per person, the use of sugar both cane and beet in domestic food and beverage industries had declined to a low of 60 pounds per person by In following years, per person sugar use by these industries fluctuated between 61 and 66 pounds. In contrast, Americans consumed Sugar deliveries to food manufacturers generally constitute a major portion of refined sugar deliveries.
Of those industries, baking and cereal industries are generally the largest end users of sugar followed by confectionery makers. Detrashing on th and th day. Trash twist propping on th day.

Second-generation biofuels are made from non-food materials and waste materials to reduce threats to food security caused by the use of food crops to make first-generation biofuels. Presently, on a general and global scale, sugarcane is burned in boilers to supply energy to industrial plants.
