Sugarcane Planting Technology in North China

Many people think that sugarcane can only be grown in the south, but in fact, sugarcane can also be grown in the north, and red sugarcane is generally planted in the north. Let's take a look at the planting techniques of sugarcane in the north.

Planting sugarcane in the north is relatively simple, about 2000 sugarcane buds can be planted per mu. The planting spacing of sugarcane in the north is about 1.2m to 1.5m, the distance between plants is about 30cm to 50cm, and the soil of sugarcane sprouts is about 3cm. Then pour enough water, preferably with river water. Cover with plastic film on the second day.

In the cold weather in the north, sugarcane may not be able to grow well, so in the cold areas of the north, such as the northeast, on the basis of planting, need to build a simple small arch shed, about half a meter high. When the sugarcane seedlings grow up, the simple small arch shed can be removed.

Sugarcane seedlings should be watered timely in the dry season and waterlogged in the rainy season. If there is a long drought or flood, it will lead to the death of sugarcane. If in windy and rainy monsoon areas, it is also necessary to seal the ridge of sugarcane regularly, cultivate soil, strengthen soil consolidation of sugarcane, prevent wind and rain, leading to sugarcane lodging.

In the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the outer skin of sugarcane should be peeled off to expose the endothelium of sugarcane and be exposed to sunlight. Only in this way can it be colored and turn into red sugarcane, which can be put on the market before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Before the temperature drops to 0 degrees, store it in the cellar to prevent the sugar cane from freezing.

The cultivation of sugarcane in the north is relatively simple, with a yield of about 10,000 jin to 30,000 jin per mu, and the yield is also very good.
