"Sugarcane: Technology and Research" ed. by Alexandre De Oliveira

This book intends to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview in technology, production, and applied and basic research of this bioenergy species, approaching the latest developments on varied topics related to this crop.

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is considered one of the major bioenergy crops grown globally. Thus, sugarcane research to improve sustainable production worldwide is a vital task of the scientific community, to address the increasing demands and needs for their products, especially biofuels. In this context, this book covers the most recent research areas related to sugarcane production and its applications.

The book is composed of 14 chapters, divided into 5 sections that highlight fundamental insights into the current research and technology on this crop.
