SUGARCANE

INTRODUCTION

- Sugarcane belongs to the family Gramineae and its scientific name is Saccharum officinarum.

- Highest sugar-producing the state of India.

- Sugarcane is the main source of sugar in India and holds prominent position as a cash crop.

- India has the largest area under sugarcane in the world and also ranks first in sugar production.

                                                                                                          

REQUIREMENTS

TEMPRATURE       :            20-26 DEGREE 

SOIL                        :            LOAMY SOIL 

pH                           :             6.5 - 7.5

RAINFALL               :             150 cm

DURATION             ;              12-14 months

IRRIGATION
´Depending upon the agro climatic conditions, type of soil, methods of planting and use of manures and fertilizers and sugarcane yield the water requirement varies.
´The hot weather associated with dry winds and drought increases the water requirement of the crop. 
´The crop sown in trenches needs relatively less water but sandy soils and application of more fertilizers increase the water uptake.
´First irrigation should be done when about 20-25% plant have germinated or about 20 days after sowing and the irrigations are given at 10-15 days interval during summer, 25-30 days interval during winter and if there is drought the crop should be irrigated during rainy season also as and when needed. 

SOIL TREATMENT:

Use Bhoomi power, Powerplant Premium, and a precautionary Root guard to treat your soil by giving it complete nutrition.

                                                                       

 

BHOOMI POWER

4KG/ACRE

 Bhoomi Power

 POWER PLANT PREMIUM

1 LITRE/ ACRE   

ROOT GUARD

2 KG/ACRE
´ The crop needs maximum water at tillering stage and during elongation or grand growth phase.
CULTIVATION
´Usually ridges and furrows are formed manually or by bullock / tractor drawn ridgers.
´All around the field and at regular intervals within the field drainage channels which are deeper than the irrigation channels should be formed depending upon the drainage requirement.
´A well prepared field with addition of organic matter and proper drainage facility would support a healthy sugarcane crop.

 TREATMENT OF NODES :

Use POWERPLANT SEED TREATMENT   

Treat with Power Plant Seed Treatment.        

 

   

Dip each node of the sugarcane in the Power plant seed treatment diluted with water.
