Sugarcane  (Saccharum officinarum L.) http://agriera.blogspot.com/2022/06/sugarcane-part-3.html http://agriera.blogspot.com/2022/05/wheat-crop-production-technology-part-3.html 1-Irrigation Sugarcane is a perennial crop and on average basis water requirement varies 47-63 inches for spring crop and 80 to 98 inches for the autumn crop on seasonal basis, soil fertility and cane variety. The whole world adopted Center Pivot irrigation systems but in Pakistan it is introduced just before few years. Now in our country Centre Pivot irrigation systems is introduced on large farms scale.  Autumn planting crop requires more water requirement than the spring planting crop. During dry period, water availability should be sufficient with short intervals to prevent the crop from moisture stress.  https://agriera.blogspot.com/2020/09/compost-natural-organic-fertilizer.html Irrigation Schedule  The aim of efficient irrigation scheduling program is to "provide information on right timing and optim

  Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) 1-Fertigation Process It is a process in which we apply fertilizers and nutrients with the help of irrigation to increase the nutrients efficiency in increasing growth and yield of the crop. As we know that sugarcane is major crop which produces biomass generally in huge amount of nutrient elements. At this time in 2022 fertilizer application is worst challenge for the common farmers that is why there is a need of improvement in fertilizers use efficiency for more benefits. So in such conditions it is the best way of fertilizers application to the crop, where in "Fertigation" with both water and fertilizers are applied to the crop through center pivot irrigation system. http://agriera.blogspot.com/2022/06/sugarcane-part-2.html Fertigation is a process which contains uniform nutrients or fertilizer application. For fertigation process, fertilizer tank and injector pump is used. Ensure the uniform flow of water to provide nutrients uniform

  Initial Stages of Sugarcane https://agriera.blogspot.com/2022/05/sugarcane-part-1.html It leads to the early preparation of the sugarcane strategies. If we make proper strategies to overcome the difficulties and hurdles to sugarcane in the initial stages, then we can make a big difference in the production of sugarcane.  Initial stages includes following different parts; Seed If you wants to make your crop productive than you should select the best seed which includes high sugar recovery, disease resistant, healthy and of spring crop. Select the posterior part of the sugarcane which is the best part of the sugarcane for seed use. And do not select the seed from ratoon and lodged crop. Seed rate should be 80-100 mounds per acre. CP-77400 and CPF-237 are the early varieties of sugarcane. Cane parts or sets of seeds should be selected from new crop (immature crop) because a mature crop have large number of dry buds and if in case you select the mature crop which contains the dry buds of
