suitable land |
High land and medium
high land with well drained loamy soil nutral in reaction(pH 6.5 to 7.5) is most suitable.
CLIMATE
Sugarcane is a tropical
crop grows best in hot and sunny areas. It grows both in tropical and sub
tropical region. Optimum temperature for sprouting is 28 – 300C and
absolute lowest temperature is around 120C. Optimum rainfall for
obtaining high yield is 2000 – 2500 mm is ideal. During growth phage rainfall
encourages rapid cane formation. But during ripening stage rainfall is
undesirable because it leads to poor juice quality.
LAND PREPARATION

For ideal land
preparation 5-6 ploughing followed by
leveling and incorporating organic manure is suitable.
SELECTION OF PLANTING
MATERIAL
Sugarcane is propagated
vegetatively by stem cuttings, known as setts. Immature cane portion that are
in vigorous growth stage rich in nitrogen content having healthy fresh buds are
considered as the best planting material.
