Abstract: By way of introduction as the editor, I am an Honours graduate of the University of Wales and was awarded my Doctorate by the University of London and conferred a Diploma of Membership of the Imperial College in 1966. Following 30 years experience in sugarcane, I was awarded a Fellowship of the Institute of Biology in 1996. After 3 years research experience into the diseases and nematode problems of the coffee in Kenya, I have over 36 years experience in sugarcane in several countries. My major involvement in sugarcane has been in applied research to ensure optimum and sustainable cane and sugar production without detriment to the environment. I have published over 50 technical papers, and have held appointments as Director of Research and Agriculture Manager, and acted as Consultant in several countries in the world’s sugarcane agro-industry.
