The latest planting conditions of sugarcane

As a kind of fruit with high sugar content and abundant water, sugarcane is loved by many people. Its average height is more than two meters. As a higher crop, sugarcane needs more conditions. Once it is not managed for a long time, it is easy to have diseases and insect pests. Let's take a look at the conditions needed to grow sugarcane.

1. Temperature

Sugarcane is a temperature-loving crop, the surrounding temperature needs to be kept above 18 degrees and 30 degrees every day, and its growth will increase with the accumulated temperature. When the temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius, the growth rate will become slow, but it is also conducive to the accumulation of sugar in the body. Sugar cane will stop growing when the temperature is below 13 degrees Celsius. Different varieties have different requirements for temperature.

2. Sunshine

98% of the sugar and weight of sugarcane itself is produced by the photosynthesis of sugarcane leaves in sunlight, because the photosynthesis of sugarcane is different from that of other crops, and it requires extremely strong sunlight for photosynthesis. The stronger the light, the stronger the photosynthesis. The duration of sunlight directly affects the yield of sugarcane, and the most suitable time for a day is eight hours.

3. Air

Sugarcane is also closely related to the quality of the air in the process of growth and development, because sugarcane photosynthesis during the day and respiration at night, both of which require carbon dioxide and oxygen. The content of these two gases in the air will also directly affect the growth and development of sugarcane, the soil needs to contain oxygen, so sugarcane can smoothly carry out photosynthesis, so the soil should be ventilated.

4. Moisture

Sugarcane needs a lot of water from sowing to maturity, and people who often eat sugarcane will know that sugarcane stems contain a lot of water. Moisture will directly affect the sugar content and final quality of sugarcane, so if you encounter a long-term drought, it is necessary to ensure the water supply of sugarcane. Especially in the sugarcane elongation period, the sugarcane elongation period is the stage when sugarcane needs water most.

5. Nutrients

Sugarcane grows slowly and takes a long time, but the yield is higher, and the relative nutrient consumption will be more. There is a positive proportional relationship between the length and sweetness of sugarcane and the amount of nutrients it absorbs, so it is necessary to apply sufficient base fertilizer and appropriate topdressing before planting. Ensure the required nutrients and improve the yield and quality of sugarcane.

6. Soil

Sugarcane absorbs nutrients and water in the soil, and the root grows and develops in the soil, which is an important place. The quality of the soil has a great impact on the high yield of sugarcane, although the adaptability of sugarcane is very strong, but the soil is different and the degree of fertility is different. There is also a great difference in the yield and quality of sugarcane.

The above six are the conditions that need to be paid attention to when planting sugarcane, of course, there are some conditions, such as varieties, and different varieties are also one of the factors affecting sugarcane yield. We all need to pay attention to the above conditions, because sugarcane is more sensitive to these factors, it is easy to affect sugarcane yield, and I hope this article can help you.
