Abstract
This study aimed to determine the amount of impurities adhering to sugarcane harvested from sugarcane harvesters. A factorial experimental design was used to study the effect of three factors: sugarcane type, planting and soil type. The experiments showed that the three factors affected the quantity of impurities adhering to the sugarcane. The following types of impurities can be classified as tops at 54%, trash at 32%, and root and soil at 14%. The variance analysis was done at a significant level of 0.05, and it was found that the sugarcane type and the planting technique had an influence on the amount of tops impurities in both terms of the main factors and co-factors. The type of sugarcane was the main factor affecting the amount of trash impurities in terms of main factors; planting and soil type had an influence on the amount of trash impurities in terms of the co-factors.
