“…These results were in line with those found by Patnaik et al (2016). The total cost of cultivation for 1 st ratoon crop decreased by 23.93% less than the plant crop because it saves seed cane cost, labor force and cost of land preparation (Shukla et al, 2013). After addition the costs of wheat production ($ 1520.77/ha) to the costs of late planting of sugarcane in May using seedlings and cane cuttings, the total costs of early conventional planting in March decreased by $ 1625.32 and $ 1274.03/ha, as compared to planting with seedlings produced by bud chips or late conventional method in May, respectively.…”

The current study was conducted at El-Mattana Research Station (latitude: 25.25° N, longitude: 32.31° E), Agricultural Research Center, Luxor Governorate, Egypt on a plant-cane in 2020-2021 and its first ratoon in 2021-2022 seasons to determine the benefits of using bud chip technology compared to traditional sugarcane planting using cane cuttings, whether earlier (In March) or late (In May).The findings showed that planting sugarcane in March (as recommended) using cane setts was comparable to employing bud chips technology in terms of cane and sugar yields per hectare as well as the number of millable canes per hectare, as well as stalk length, diameter, and weight. The first ratoon crop and plant cane both displayed the same trend in terms of quality features.When sugarcane was planted late (in May), bud chips produced better yields of canes and sugar per hectare than cane cuttings did in the plant's cane and first ratoon (14.95 and 3.23 tonnes and 10.20 and 2.07 tonnes, respectively). Meanwhile, May's late planting resulted in a significant decline in the values of the examined quality parameters of both the plant and the first crop of rats . Applying the bud chips approach had a comparative economic advantage over the traditional planting of cane cuttings in both early and late sugarcane planting, in terms of planting expenses, gross and net return, as well as benefit-cost ratio.

“…Sugarcane is a perennial ridge-type crop grown in high-density clusters, and the cultivated fields have significantly undulating ridge row structures [1]. Since the sugar-making process requires the impurity content of sugarcane raw materials to be as low as possible, impurity removal processes such as cutting off leaf tips and peeling leaves are set up in the combined harvester.…”

Conventional straw-returning machines were incompatible with ridge cultivation terrain and unevenly distributed materials, resulting in substandard operations such as insufficient leaf fragmentation, damage to ratoon stumps, and high cutting energy consumption. In this regard, this paper proposes a novel profiling configuration of chopping and returning machine to adapt to the coverage characteristics of cane leaves in furrow-ridge terrain. The leaves piled at furrow sole are intensively collected and fed into the whirling space by the flexible hook teeth assembly, and are cooperatively broken by the unequal-length swing blades densely arranged along the double helix. Based on the measured topographic trends and dynamic analysis of the leaf-shredding process, experimental factors affecting profiling cutting and picking capabilities of the main components were determined. Further, using chopping qualification rate (CQR) and fragmentation degree (CFD) as indicators, field trails were conducted through a response surface method to test the comprehensive crushing performance of the machine. After multi-objective optimization, the optimal structural and operating parameters were determined as: blade length gradient of 1.57 cm, teeth spacing of 6.84 cm and feed speed of 3.2 km/h. With such adaptive configurations, CQR and CFD reached 81.14% and 0.101, respectively, which were significantly improved by 60.50% and 47.99% compared to those of conventional machines. Crushed leaves appeared to be more thoroughly mixed with the soil and more evenly spread in the field. Meanwhile, the traction resistance tended to be stable, with an effective RSM 45.85% lower than the value of higher-level blade gradient, indicating a better overall fit with the irregular terrain. This study can provide a reference for the development of leaf-chopping and returning machines suitable for ridge-type crops.

“…Keeping the sugarcane crop as ratoon is economically a viable option for the growers as its cost of production is 25-30% less than the plant crop. Moreover, huge quantities of seed, irrigation water, labor force and the cost of land preparation are also saved (Shukla et al, 2013). In Pakistan, ratoon sugarcane occupies more than 50% of the total cropped area under sugarcane.…”

Demand for sugar in Pakistan is increasing day by day while the scope for increasing area of sugarcane is limited. Conventional sowing techniques/planting patterns are one of imperative reason for low productivity of sugarcane in Pakistan. Therefore, we assumed the yield, quality and economics of sugarcane under square and round pit planting techniques. During 2013-15 and 2015-16 at Faisalabad, the experiment was arranged in randomized complete block design. Planting techniques were comprised of 45 cm spaced square pits having area 90 cm × 90 cm, 45 cm spaced round pits having diameter 90 cm, 60 cm spaced square pits having area 90 cm × 90 cm, 60 cm spaced round pits having diameter 90 cm, 75 cm spaced square pits having area 90 cm × 90 cm, 75 cm spaced round pits having diameter 90 cm, 90 cm spaced square pits having area 90 cm × 90 cm and 90 cm spaced round pits having diameter 90 cm. After the harvest of the first-year crop, the field was kept as ratoon crop for 2 nd-year trials. Maximum plant height 374.66 cm and 323.41 cm was attained when sugarcane was planted in 90 cm spaced square pits having area a 90 cm × 90 cm in plant and ratoon crop, respectively. The highest unstripped cane yield (158.08 t/ha and 128.78 t/ha) and stripped cane yield (134.88 t/ ha and 101.51 t /ha) was obtained from sugarcane planted at 45 cm spaced square pits having an area 90 cm× 90 cm in plant and ratoon crop, respectively. Moreover, this treatment gave maximum net return of Rs.177370/ha, net field benefits of Rs.347819 /ha and benefit-cost ratio of 1.57.
