Sugarcane growing conditions and characteristics

Sugarcane growing conditions

Sugarcane is generally more suitable for growing in an environment with warm winters and cool summers. It prefers to receive sufficient sunlight and grows better in places with fertile soil. Sugarcane is generally produced in Taiwan, Fujian, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan.

Sugarcane has different temperature requirements at different growth stages. Generally, the most suitable growth temperature for sugarcane is around 30 degrees. It has a certain degree of cold resistance, but is also afraid of freezing. The lowest temperature it can generally withstand is 9 degrees.

Sugarcane growth period and process

Sugarcane grows mostly in temperate regions. It usually matures in autumn and can be planted in spring and autumn. Its general growth cycle is about 3 or 4 months, making it a winter fruit.

Sugarcane goes through five stages during its growth: germination, seedling, tillering, elongation and maturity. Sufficient sunlight during the elongation period can increase the sweetness of the sugarcane.

Sugarcane Planting Process and Methods

1. Select branches: Choose thicker sugarcane and cut it into small pieces. Keep 1-3 nodes on each piece and then dry the wound in the shade.

2. Planting: Align the treated buds at both ends, cover them with soil, and then water the soil thoroughly.
