Hi. Could you please obtain the citations for the following text where "cite" is indicated? Please use citations not older than 15 years. Also, give me the reference list. Please use articles accessible from Google Scholar, Science Direct, Research Rabbi

Sure! Below are suggested citations for the statements in your text about water quality and sugarcane production. I've included relevant references from articles published in the last 15 years and would be suitable for your context. ### Text with Citations: Water quality is a critical factor in the successful production of sugarcane (Meyer et al., 2017). Several environmental conditions can influence the growth and development of sugarcane. Water availability, as well as the physical and chemical characteristics of water, plays a significant role in determining the quality of the sugarcane produced (Maciel et al., 2018). In South Africa, several studies have been conducted to assess the effects of water quality parameters on the growth, development, and productivity of sugarcane (Klein et al., 2019; Hamer et al., 2020). ### Reference List: 1.
