Sugarcane planting conditions are suitable for the environmental requirements of the planting area

Sugarcane Introduction

Sugarcane, also known as potato cane, sugar cane, and yellow-skinned fruit cane, is an herbaceous plant of the genus Saccharum. It has a thick and well-developed rhizome and a stalk height of 3-6 meters. It is mostly grown in southern tropical areas such as Taiwan, Fujian, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan in China.

Sugarcane is suitable for places with fertile soil, sufficient sunshine and large temperature differences. It can be divided into fruit cane and sugar cane according to its use. It can be divided into sugarcane "Black King Kong", sugarcane "Black Green Gang" and sugarcane "White Jade Cane" according to its appearance.

Sugarcane Planting Conditions

Sugarcane prefers a warm, sunny environment, with an annual accumulated temperature of 5500-8500 degrees, a frost-free period of more than 330 days, air humidity of about 60 percent, and annual precipitation of 800-200 mm. The main producing areas of sugarcane are in southern tropical regions such as Taiwan, Fujian, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan.

Sugarcane planting time

Sugarcane is suitable for planting in spring and autumn. It can be planted in spring from February to April and later than April, and it will mature in May to July. It can be planted in autumn from August to September. It is best to start planting at the end of August and grow and mature in December of the same year. When planting, you must pay attention to choosing the right soil and adding an appropriate amount of base fertilizer.

Sugarcane Planting Benefits

Many people think that growing sugarcane is very profitable, but it costs 2,000 yuan to buy sugarcane seedlings for an acre of sugarcane field, and the management fee is generally 1,000 yuan. After harvesting and selling the sugarcane, only about 4,000 to 9,600 yuan of income can be obtained. Excluding costs, the net profit is about 1,000 to 6,600 yuan, which is not profitable.
