Sugarcane is an important cash crop. Until February-March is done in North India in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Panchav. However, due to circumstances, farmers need to plant late sugarcane. Many farmers sow sugarcane after harvesting wheat, so taking care of some special things in late sowing will give you better yields. According to experts, in general, sugarcane sowing is performed from February to March, the temperature is 16 to 32 ° C, suitable for sugarcane germination and early growth. If farmers sow sugarcane in April after harvesting rabbi crops, the temperature is high, but experts have made some special and effective recommendations for late sowing, which may take high yields in low time.
Sugarcane sowers needed advice in April
It is very important to choose seeds for sowing sugarcane. At this time it is beneficial to use nursery plants made by a single-big nursery plant or STP system instead of sugarcane pieces, because they are prepared in advance, causing 30-35 days delay and the buds are high. If the farmers have prepared a nursery in a bud or STP mode, sow them, otherwise buy saplings from the sugar cane nursery. It has two benefits: one is needed sugarcane, and secondly, sugarcane growth is quick. If sugarcane nursery plants are not available, use pieces of two or three eyes. Keep in mind that the pieces are fresh, none of them have the effect of the disease or pest. As for the seeds, one -third of the sugarcane should be used because it is highly germinated. The distance from the sugarcane row is placed 4.5 feet in the normal seed, but in the late sowing it should be reduced to 3 feet. The size of the seeds should be increased.
Choose these types in sowing late
Some specialty varieties are suitable for late sow, which are ready in the short term and can tolerate the adverse conditions. According to agricultural experts, the best yield can be obtained by selecting advanced varieties such as Kosa 15023, Kosa 13235, Kolk 1602 and Kosa 10231. These varieties have better productivity with immunity. To sow the sugar cane well, there is enough moisture in the field. High temperatures are likely to occur at the time of sowing, which can quickly eliminate the moisture of the soil. So, if there is no moisture in the field before sowing, prepare the balava (irrigation) field. Make the soil well brittle so that the germination is steady.
Don’t forget these things at the time of sowing
Seed treatment is essential for seed cleansing so that seed -prevalent diseases can be avoided. For this, keep the sugar cane pieces in 0.1% of the sinist or thyobin methyl solution for 10 minutes before sowing. The late crop of sugarcane is highly sensitive to pests and diseases. For this, perform regular analysis and accept biological or chemical activities as needed. In the late sowing of sugarcane, activities such as the appropriate type, seed quality, the right distance, adequate moisture and seed therapy are not reduced by yield, but at the right time maintenance can earn good income. Thus, sowing late can become a successful and beneficial option.
