“…Vinasse from sugarcane mills has been a very good liquid fertilizer for sugarcane, and a technological system has been developed for application in both plant and ratoon crops of sugarcane in China (Li 2010;Li et al 2007Zhu et al 2009;Jiang et al 2012;Su et al 2012;Yang et al 2012Yang et al , 2013. Experiments proved that spraying 75 t/ha vinasse of Brix 6-8 in plant cane, and 105 t/ha vinasse of Brix 8-9, covered with plastic film, could ensure well growth of sugarcane plants without additional application of any chemical fertilizer, and improving cane productivity 10-30 %, and sucrose content 0.2-1.0 % compared with traditional fertilization control.…”

China is the world's third largest sugar producing country after Brazil and India. During milling years 2004/2005 and 2013/2014, the average yearly sugar production in China was 11.64 MT, 49.86 % more that in the previous decade. However, the major increase came from Guangxi province, which produced 7.21 MT sugar per annum in average in recent decade, increased by 104.25 % compared to the production of 3.53 MT sugar per annum in average during 1994/1994 and 2003/2004. Sugarcane contributed more than 90 % of the total sugar production in recent decade. Chinese sugar industry encompasses 270 operating sugar mills, 233 sugarcane, and 37 sugar beet. In the milling year 2007/2008, the total sugar production in China reached 14.83 MT, which was 24.04 % higher than that in previous milling year; and cane sugar production reached 13.67 MT, which occupied 92.18 % of the total. However, the severe low temperature and drought occurred almost every year since 2008, which caused continuous in cane and sugar productivity in the subsequent years. The sugar production began recovering since 2011/2012, and reached 13.32 MT sugar in 2013/2014, still 10.18 % lower than that in 2007/2008. Guangxi is the largest sugarcane and sugar producer in China, 9.41 MT sugar in 2007, and 8.56 MT sugar in 2013/2014. Besides, many products, such as pulp, paper, alcohol, yeast, xylitol, chemicals, cane juice, bio-manure, feed, and electricity are also produced from sugarcane. The sugar industry is also the major contributor to the socio-economic development of the major cane producing areas especially Guangxi, Yunnan and western Guangdong.

“…For fertilization in sites harvested during the late period of the sugarcane harvest season, the application methods interfered little with sugarcane yield, while the fertilizer source, depending on the weather conditions of the crop season, can directly interfere in sugarcane biomass production. In the south-central region of Brazil, weather conditions are different from those found in the early and middle periods of the sugarcane harvest season ( Su et al., 2012 ; Otto et al., 2016 ; Corrêa et al., 2019 ). The highest levels of rainfall start in spring (October) along with favorable conditions for the vegetative growth of sugarcane, such as high temperatures (>25°C).…”

“…Autumn and winter are dry and cold seasons in the south-central region of Brazil, leading to a water deficit in the soil and limiting nutrient availability to the plant ( Thorburn et al., 2017 ; Corrêa et al., 2019 ). Thus, soil NPK fertilization in sugarcane ratoons carried out in unfavorable weather conditions (i.e., drought season) may lead to the absence of production gain ( Su et al., 2012 ; Otto et al., 2016 ), lower economic return from fertilization ( Castro et al., 2019 ), and a decrease in nutrient accumulation and use efficiency by the plants ( Fageria and Baligar, 2005 ; Dinh et al., 2017 ; Oliveira Filho et al., 2021 ), which might increase environmental losses ( Bowles et al., 2018 ).…”

IntroductionThe contrasting weather conditions throughout the sugarcane harvest period in south-central Brazil (April to November) influence fertilization management in sugarcane ratoon.MethodsThrough field studies carried out over two cropping seasons, we aimed to compare the performance of sugarcane at sites harvested in the early and late periods of the harvest season as a function of fertilizer sources associated with application methods. The design used in each site was a randomized block in a 2 x 3 factorial scheme; the first factor consisted of fertilizer sources (solid and liquid), and the second factor consisted of application methods (above the straw, under the straw, and incorporated into the middle of the sugarcane row).ResultsThe fertilizer source and application method interacted at the site harvested in the early period of the sugarcane harvest season. Overall, the highest sugarcane stalk and sugar yields at this site were obtained with the incorporated application applying liquid fertilizer and under straw applying solid fertilizer, with increments of up to 33%. For the site harvested in the late period of the sugarcane harvest season, the liquid fertilizer promoted a 25% higher sugarcane stalk yield compared to the solid fertilizer in the crop season with low rainfall in the spring, while in the crop season with normal rainfall, there were no differences between treatments.DiscussionThis demonstrates the importance of defining fertilization management in sugarcane as a function of harvest time, thereby promoting greater sustainability in the production system
