Sugarcane farming method

1. Maintenance methods

1. Substrate selection: In order to meet the needs of its root growth and enable the roots to better absorb nutrients and water, it is best to choose fertile land, open sugarcane furrows, and deep plow the land to create deep and loose soil conditions for its growth.

2. Water management: It has a large demand for water, but is not tolerant to waterlogging. It requires a lot of water during its growth period and needs to be watered more frequently. In other stages, just keep the soil in the sugarcane field slightly moist. Be careful not to allow water to accumulate in the sugarcane field; drain the water in time to prevent root rot of the plants.

3. Nutrient management: It has a long growth period, tall plants and high yields, so sufficient nutrients should be provided during the planting process. Sufficient base fertilizer should be applied before planting, and then topdressing should be applied in time. A small amount of fertilizer can be applied during the seedling stage, and the frequency of fertilization can be gradually increased during the tillering stage. It absorbs the most nutrients during the growth period, so more fertilizer should be applied at this time, which can effectively increase the yield, and less fertilizer should be applied during the maturity stage.

4. Temperature management: It likes warmth, and the annual accumulated temperature needs to reach 5500℃-8500℃. The average daily temperature should be above 20℃, which is suitable for planting in tropical climate areas.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction method: It is suitable to be planted in spring from February to March or in autumn from August to September. When harvesting, choose upright, thick-stalked and unflowered sugarcane stalks, cut them into several sections of double-bud seedlings, and plant them obliquely or flatly in the sugarcane furrows. Pay attention to the spacing of the sugarcane seedlings when planting. Too dense or too sparse spacing will affect the yield.

2. Pruning method: As the plant grows, the bottom leaves will gradually turn yellow and wither. In the later stage of its growth, the yellow bottom leaves can be pruned off, which can promote the growth and maturity of the plant and increase yield and sugar content.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Yellowing leaves: In the later stage of its growth, if the older leaves at the bottom turn yellow and dry, they need to be peeled off in time, leaving only six to seven leaves per plant.

2. Diseases: Its main diseases include white leaf disease, leaf blight, smut, etc. Once the disease occurs, the diseased plants must be removed and burned in time to prevent the spread of the disease. More attention must be paid to it at ordinary times, and it is best to choose disease-resistant varieties.

IV. Other issues

1. Meaning: It has the beautiful meaning of "prosperity and prosperity". In many areas, there is a custom of eating sugarcane during the Spring Festival, which symbolizes prosperity in the new year.

2. Toxicity: It is non-toxic. The sugar content of sugar cane is extremely high and it is generally used for sugar production.
