For your information, let us tell you that keeping all these things in mind, the Government of India has released 10 new varieties of sugarcane after consultation with the Central Seed Committee. The main objective of releasing these varieties is to promote improved varieties of sugarcane for sugarcane cultivation. With this, sugarcane farmers can earn bumper income with higher production.

Know about 10 improved varieties of sugarcane

All these improved varieties of sugarcane are open-pollinated i.e. indigenous varieties. The availability or production of seeds of these varieties is done through them. For this, the best plants are selected and these seeds are produced.

To earn more production than sowing winter sugarcane, the farmers should accept this scientific method, so their crops don't get affected by any kind of disease & also a plenty of profit could be achieved in production capacity. In regards to such situations, we’ve brought some information about scientific sowing of sugarcane for the farmers today. Farmers have started sowing winter sugarcane in different states of India. In such a situation, if farmers sow sugarcane better in their fields, then they can get maximum profit. In this series, agricultural scientists have issued advice to take some precautions for sowing sugarcane. Actually, farmers should plow the field better to get the best yield of sugarcane. Along with this, high quality manure should also be added to the field, so that the crop can be increased rapidly. Also, there should be no disease of any kind in it.

Do these things before sowing winter sugarcane

Farmers, if they want to sow winter sugarcane recently inside their fields then they should first plough the field deeply, then add 10 tonnes of dung manure per hectare in the field. just to let you know that this is for the elimination of the diseases present in the field and for the crop to grow in a great & uncaptive manner. After this, you have to plough the field once again. After this, the soil has to be made uniform by running the leveller. After this, one can now sow sugarcane in the field with a single big method. To sow sugarcane by a single big method, farmers can easily plant 10-12 quintals of sugarcane seeds per hectare.

Fertiliser during sugarcane sowing

During sugarcane sowing, provide 100 kg urea and 500 kg single super phosphate per hectare. At the same time, apply MOP - 100 kg per hectare, Zinc Sulphate - 25 kg per hectare, Regent - 25 kg per hectare, Bavaria Bassiana Metarhizium anisopliae - 5 kg per hectare, PSB - 10 kg per hectare, Azotobacter - 10 kg per hectare. During sugarcane sowing, use chemical fertilisers in proper and prescribed quantities.

Before sowing sugarcane, keep weed control in mind. If weeds are not controlled in time then there can be reduction in production. Production can be decreased by 10-30 percent. In this situation, let us know how to control weeds. 

These days, autumn sowing of sugarcane is going on in India. At this time weed control is also more important. Because, sugarcane crops can get affected due to weeds, which causes reduction in  production. In this situation, it should be controlled before sowing.Agricultural scientists have said that farmers should do weed control regularly.So that full development of their crop is possible.Dr. Sanjeev Pathak, Extension Officer of Uttar Pradesh Sugarcane Research Council, says that sowing of sugarcane is going on these days in various states of the country. Farmer brothers must keep in mind weed control before sowing. They have said that about 45 types of broad and narrow leaves of weeds are found in sugarcane. 

Yield of sugarcane decreases this way.

For your information, let us tell you that the field of sugarcane is sown by trench method because of a lot of space in between, and weeds grow rapidly. If weeds in sugarcane crops are not controlled in time then there may be a decrease in yield of sugarcane. Let us tell you that yield can be decreased by 10-30 percent, because weeds grow with the crop. Therefore take control over the weeds on time so that crops don't get harmed. 

Control weeds like this.

Dr. Sanjeev Pathak has said that weed control in the first three months of sugarcane sowing. Two methods can be used for weed control. The first method in which weeds can be eliminated is by chemical spraying of herbicides. Whereas, the second method is the mechanical method, in which weeds can be eliminated by weeding.

Weeding helps in the circulation of air in the soil, which helps in the excellent development of sugarcane roots. Let us tell you that when the roots are fully developed, the plants will absorb the nutrients present in the soil, the fertilizers given by the farmers and the irrigation water, which will also improve the growth and development. Now in such a situation, farmers will get a very good yield. Besides, the weeds growing in the crop will also be eliminated.

Farmer brothers should spray medicine in this way.

If a chemical method has to be used in any special circumstances then to control broadleaf and narrow leaf weeds, apply 500 grams of Metribuzin 70 percent simultaneously And make a solution of 2 4 D 58 percent in 1000 liters of water corresponding to 2.5 liters per hectare and spray it. During this time, be careful that the medicine is sprayed only on the weeds in the space between the two lines of sugarcane. Try to ensure that the medicine does not fall on the sugarcane plants. Spraying of medicine on sugarcane plants can significantly affect the growth of the plants.
