Sugarcane growing environment conditions and requirements

Sugarcane is a common fruit and a perennial herb with thick stems. It generally grows in Fujian, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and other places. It usually prefers to grow in an environment with fertile soil, plenty of sunlight and large temperature difference between winter and summer.

Sugarcane growing temperature

Sugarcane is a temperate and tropical plant. It prefers a warm environment during its growth period and is afraid of freezing. The most suitable growth temperature for sugarcane is within the range of 20-30 degrees. When the ambient temperature is as high as 40 degrees, the normal growth of sugarcane will be inhibited.

Sugarcane growth humidity

Sugarcane likes a humid environment. It has very strict requirements on humidity when growing. The annual average humidity during the growth period must be 60%, and the soil humidity also needs to be maintained at around 60%. Only in this way can the normal growth of sugarcane be met.

Sugarcane growing soil
