SUGAR INDUSTRY ABSTRACTS M. Awais Qureshi and Shahid Afghan Shakarganj <strong>Sugar</strong> Research Institute, Jhang A compact history of genetic transformation and its influence on crop development B. I. Huckett The term 'crop biotechnology' did not occur in the scientific literature in the 1970s and was sparse in the 1980s. In the following decade its occurrence increased by an order of magnitude, reflecting the dramatic way in which the new range of molecular genetic tools and novel approaches for investigating and manipulating living organisms influenced biological and agricultural research. Understanding and developing the process of genetic transformation was a key element in this movement, starting with studies of prokaryotic systems and advancing later to more complex ones. The trend is clearly continuing exponentially into the 21st century. Within the biotechnological revolution there have been many sub-developments producing novel biological insights, ultimately affecting crop production and strategic management of agriculture. Production methods and farming systems of sugarcane under the fast track land reform programme in a semi-arid region in Zimbabwe M. Shoko, S. I. Mkwamba, D. Tsingo and C. Shoko In 2000 the Government of Zimbabwe adopted the fast track land reform programme (FTLRP) for the whole of the country. It therefore affected the South Eastern Lowveld that is the main sugarcane growing region, and the black settler farmers (A2 farmers) were given plots. A survey of the sugarcane production methods and farming systems by these A2 farmers was conducted in the area over two year, i.e. 2006 to 2008. The major objective of this study was to assess the contributions to sugar production from these small-holder farmers from 2003 to 2008. Another objective was to relate their practices to technical policy issues and institutional innovations. The research area included Hippo Valley, Mkwasine and Triangle, and 91 farms in the three areas were included in the study. The majority of farmers practiced monoculture cane production with insignificant plough-outs. Very low cane and sugar yields were obtained by more than 90%t of the farmers. The low yields are as a result of poor sugarcane agronomic practices and poor financial support from Government and other financiers. The A2 farmers also feel that the price of sugar has been discouraging. Ratoon stunting disease and smut were noted as the most economic diseases by the farmers. "SCAMP" and "safegauge for nutrients': Two new decision support tools for minimising off-site movement of nutrients Minimising the off-site movement of nutrients from sugarcane blocks is a priority management issue both from productivity and an environmental viewpoint. The Six Easy Steps approach to nutrient management in the sugar industry makes soil-specific nutrient recommendations and identifies appropriate management strategies by taking account of differences in key properties of individual soil types. SCAMP (Soil Constraints and Management Package) is a decision support framework that systematically derives soilspecific management strategies. SCAMP uses basic soil properties such as texture, pH,
