The major research thrusts at the Mauritius Sugar Industry Research Institute (MSIRI) are aimed at improving sugar cane planters' productivity through more efficient production systems. Emphasis is placed on exchange of information with the planting community for technology transfer. The different planter categories involved in sugar cane cultivation are encouraged to improve their cropping systems through new production techniques and labour-saving strategies. The results of a survey conducted among a sample of the planters to assess the adoption of new technologies, such as better performing sugar cane varieties, innovative cultural practices and cost-reducing techniques, disseminated by the extension staff of the MSIRI are presented. | |
