2. Where is sugar cane produced?

Sugarcane is a specialty of Guangxi, and the current annual output accounts for more than 60% of the country, and sold everywhere. Of course, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places also have a large number of planting, but the output is not as good as Guangxi.

2 How is sugar cane grown?

1. Land selection and preparation: what land is suitable for planting?

Sugarcane is suitable for growing in an environment with deep loose fertile soil and good drainage, so when selecting land, try to choose sandy loam with good drainage for planting. After selecting the land, dig a trench about 40cm deep and 25cm wide, with a distance of about 1 meter per row, and apply appropriate amount of base fertilizer for later planting.

2. Selection of seedlings: How to choose?

Choose some sugarcane with thick stems, uniform appearance without cracks, no pests and good taste as seeds, and then remove the roots and endings for later use.

3. Soaking disinfection: how to soak seeds?

Soak the selected seedlings in 2% lime water or clean water for a day or two, and then remove them for planting.

4. Sowing seedlings: how to sow seeds?

(1)Sowing time: February to April.

(2)Sowing method: The seedlings are placed in the ditch according to the distance of 20cm, and then the buds are placed on both sides. Finally, the soil is covered and a small amount of water is poured.

(3)Planting density: generally planting 5~6 seedlings per meter, 3250 seedlings per mu.

5. Garden management technology: how to manage it?

(1)Thinning seedlings: When sugarcane seedlings germinate, remove ungerminated or weak seedlings, and then transplant dense seedlings to ensure uniform growth of each seedling.

(2)Cultivate and loosen soil: After growing for a period of time, cultivate and loosen soil according to the growth period of the garden. Generally, it can be cultivated three times, and the weeds in the garden shall be removed by the way of each cultivation.

(3)Reasonable watering: sugar cane likes water but does not tolerate waterlogging, so as long as the soil is kept moist when watering, but do not pour too much, so as not to cause root rot due to waterlogging.

(4)Pest control: during sugarcane growth, red rot, smut, pink scale, cotton aphid, sugarcane turtle, sugarcane borer and other pests and diseases are prone to occur, so prevention and control measures should be taken in advance, and timely treatment should be given to those diseases that have occurred.

III. Will sugar cane be planted to make money in 2019?

1. The sugarcane market price is cheap, generally about 1 yuan a catty, and if 3000 seedlings are planted per mu, the seedling price is about 3000 yuan, the management fee is 1500 yuan, plus 12000~18000 catties of sugarcane can be produced per mu, which can be sold for about 12000 ~18000 yuan per mu. Excluding seedling fees and management fees, one mu can earn about 10000 yuan, so if you calculate the whole, you can still make money. However, since the market price is not fixed, the above is only an approximate price, and the specific price should be calculated according to the local conditions and the cost paid.

2, sugar cane application value is high, not only can be used as fruit, but also can be used to make sugar, even if the remaining straw can also be used to make feed, feed cattle, feed horses, etc., so the application range is very wide, and in addition to the changes in planting area in recent years, still can not meet the national demand, from this aspect, planting in 2019 or make money.

In general, sugarcane planting method is very simple, as long as the selection of seedlings, do a good job of moisture, pest control and other work, you can successfully plant high-sweetness sugarcane. In addition, the price of sugarcane is relatively close to the people, the application range is wide, but the profit of planting is small, so it is hard to say whether planting will make money in 2019. It is suggested that everyone invest carefully according to their own situation.
