Abstract
Impact of solar eclipse on sugarcane crop
Highlights
This paper aims to study the impact of solar eclipse on sugarcane crop. This experiment was conducted at ICAR-Indian Institute of Sugarcane Research, Lucknow to study the effect of solar eclipse on relative water content, photosynthetic rates, reducing contents of two sugarcane varieties (CoSe 92423 and CoS 96268), a day before and a day after the complete solar eclipse occurred on July 22, 2009
Chlorophyll contents and carotenoids was determined in the last transverse mark (LTM) leaf in both the varieties by DMSO method (Barnes et al, 1992)
The data showed (Table 1) that after solar eclipse, in cane variety CoSe 92423, chlorophyll a was increased to greater extent while chlorophyll b was marginally increased
Summary
This paper aims to study the impact of solar eclipse on sugarcane crop. This experiment was conducted at ICAR-Indian Institute of Sugarcane Research, Lucknow to study the effect of solar eclipse on relative water content, photosynthetic rates, reducing contents of two sugarcane varieties (CoSe 92423 and CoS 96268), a day before and a day after the complete solar eclipse occurred on July 22, 2009 (on July 22, 2009 which lasted for 6 min 39 sec, https:/ /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_July_22,_2009). Chlorophyll contents (a and b and its ratio) and carotenoids was determined in the last transverse mark (LTM) leaf in both the varieties by DMSO method (Barnes et al, 1992).
