“…This finding is in conformity with the findings of Guru (1997). Similar findings of increased number of millable canes due to green manuring were also reported by Jayapaulet al (2000), Udayakumar (2003), Roodagi (2001), Manimaran et al(2009) and Ombase et al (2018). Among the sixteen treatment combinations, planting sugarcane at 150 cm in double rows and intercropping with sunnhemp (M2S4) produced the highest number of millable canes (110.90×10 3 and 93.13×10 3 ha -1 during 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively).…”

Field experiments were carried out at the Sirugamani, Sugarcane Research Station of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University India in 2016-17 and 2017-18. The studies were designed to optimize crop geometry and identify a suitable intercrop for a novel planting technique of the sustainable sugarcane initiative. Sixteen treatment combinations (intercrops and crop geometries) were replicated three times in a strip plot design. Four crop geometries such as 150 x 60 cm single row planting, 150 x 60 cm double row planting, 180 x 60 cm single row planting, and 180 x 60 cm double row planting were assigned to the main plot. The subplot, on the other hand was earmarked for sugarcane-based intercropping, which included sole sugarcane, sugarcane + greengram, sugarcane +blackgram and sugarcane +sunnhemp. The intercrops were grown in an additive series, with three rows of sugarcane planted at 150 cm and four rows planted at 180 cm row spacing. The crop received an average of 730.3 mm of rain over the trial period. The soil at the research site was a well-drained clay loam with low, moderate, and high nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium availability, respectively. A surface drip fertigation system was used to schedule the fertilizers and irrigation to the crops. By observing cane yield and yield-attributing characteristics at harvest, the impact of crop geometry and sugarcane intercropping in the sustainable sugarcane initiative method was investigated. In comparison to the majority of sugarcane-based intercropping, sugarcane+sunnhemp intercropping produced significantly more tillers at 120 days after planting i.e.150.60 × 10 3 and 88.88 × 10 3 tillers ha -1 , respectively, in 2016-17 and 2017-18. Furthermore, growing sugarcane+sunnhemp intercropping yielded more millable canes (89.90× 10 3 and 1.43× 10 3 ) and cane equivalent yield (138.92 and 139.04 t ha -1 ) in 2016-17 and 2017-18. The 150×60 cm double row planting of sugarcane was found to be the best among the four crop geometries, yielding the highest cane equivalent yields of 132.85 and 152.56 tha -1 during plant I and plant II crops.

“…Experiments conducted at Kolhapir, Maharashtra (Saini et al 2006) indicated that pressmud cake @ 10 t ha -1 for plant crop and trash mulch @ 5 t ha -1 for the ratoon crop in conjunction with recommended NPK sustained 13-16 t ha -1 more cane yield. Wider row spacing of 120 cm row spacing with cross planting, intercropping blackgram followed by sunnhemp and application of recommended dose of fertilizers along with Acetobacter (@ 10 kg ha -1 ) and foliar spraying of micronutrient mixture (1% at 45 and 75 DAP) recorded the highest single cane yield of 150 t ha -1 (Manimaran et al 2009). The highest number of millable canes and cane length were recorded with sulphitation pressmud @ 10 t ha -1 ?…”

Integrated Nutrient Management in Sugarcane

Integrated nutrient management holds great promise in meeting the growing nutrient demands of intensive sugarcane agriculture and maintaining productivity at higher levels with overall improvement in the quality of resource base. It helps to improve and sustain soil fertility and provides a sound basis for crop production systems to meet the changing needs. Balanced use of organic, inorganic and biofertilizers is essential to maintain a good soil physical and chemical environment and also serve as energy source for the soil microbial biomass. Sugar productivity can be sustained by replenishing the nutrients removed by crops through proper recycling of crop residues and factory wastes along with biofertilizers. As organic manures often leave profound residual effect, recommendations need to be made on cropping system basis.

“…Penggunaan benih ganda dalam tata tanam juring ganda menyebabkan peningkatan populasi tanaman (Ehsanullah et al, 2011). Populasi tanaman tinggi tidak mengganggu pertumbuhan batang tebu bila kebutuhan energi cahaya dan ketersediaan nutrisi dalam tanah terpenuhi (Manimaran et al, 2009). Tata tanam juring ganda dengan dosis pupuk dua kali dosis tata tanam juring tunggal mampu meningkatkan energi cahaya tersedia 9.7-15.1% dan ketersediaan nutrisi dalam tanah (Djumali et al, 2016).…”

Sugarcane and replanting programs require a lot of seed cane and can not be fulfilled from budsetts. To fill up the gap the use of budchip seedlings is suggested. The appropriate planting arrangement for budchip seedling has not been studied thoroughly. The study was conducted at the Asembagus Experimental Station, Situbondo, East Java, from January to December 2014 for the plant cane (PC) and from January to December 2015 for ratoon cane (RC). Research was arranged in a randomized block design with three replications. The treatments consisted of (1) single budsett in single row planting, (2) double budsetts in double rows planting, (3) single budchip in single row planting, (4) single budchip in double rows planting, and (5) double budchips in double rows planting. The results showed the budchip seedling increase productivity 14.46-15.46%, sugar yield 18.17-23.38%, and profit 873% from budsett seedling. Double rows planting with budchip seedling increase productivity 52.11-61.01%, sugar yield 48.51-61.84%, and profit 603% from single row planting. Double rows planting suitable for budchip seedling is single budchip with productivity 52.53-88.30 ton ha-1, sugar yield 3.69-8.17 ton ha-1 and profit IDR 9,123,000 ha-1 per year.
