Description

It is a perennial grass in the family Poaceae grew for its stem (cane) which is primarily used to produce sucrose. Sugarcane is primarily used for the production of cane sugar (sucrose). One of the byproducts of sugarcane production is bioethanol which can be used as a fuel in place of gasoline. The dried fiber which is left over after the extraction of the sugarcane juice is called bagasse and is used in paper and textile production, as a fuel, or as an organic mulch.
