How to fertilize sugarcane for high yield

How to fertilize sugarcane for high yield? Please introduce the long growing period and high yield of sugarcane. Generally, it can produce 5000kg to 8000kg of sugarcane per mu. It absorbs a lot of nutrients during the whole growth period and is one of the crops that need a large amount of fertilizer. According to research, for every 1000 kg of sugarcane, it is necessary to absorb 1.5kg of nitrogen, 1.5kg of phosphorus, 2.5kg of potassium and 0.5kg of calcium from the soil. Sugarcane life is divided into seedling stage, tillering stage, extension stage and mature stage, and the fertilizer requirements are different in different growth stages. the general law of fertilizer absorption is "less at both ends and more in the middle", that is, in the seedling stage, the urgent need for fertilizer is less, and the demand for nitrogen is slightly higher, followed by phosphorus and potassium. In the tillering stage, the amount of fertilizer required increases gradually, and the absorption of the three elements accounts for about 10% and 20% of the whole period. Entering the extension period, the absorption of the three elements increased greatly, accounting for more than 50% of the whole period. at this time, it was the season of high temperature, heavy rain and strong light, and sugarcane had the highest utilization rate of light energy and nutrients, which was the key fertilization period. After entering the mature period, the fertilizer requirement of sugarcane decreased gradually. According to the characteristics of sugarcane nutrition demand, high-yield cultivation and fertilization should be carried out according to the principle of "combination of nutrition and growth demand, combination of organic fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer, combination of long-acting fertilizer and quick-acting fertilizer". The main method is to apply sufficient base fertilizer. Organic fertilizer should be the main base fertilizer, and a certain amount of compound fertilizer should be applied, which can create good conditions for rapid sprouting, root elongation and early and strong tillering of sugarcane. Generally, about 2000 kg of fully mature organic fertilizer is applied per mu, and 45% of the general compound fertilizer is 20kg to 30kg. When applying, planting sugarcane in spring first opened the planting ditch, then applied organic fertilizer to the bottom of the ditch, and then applied compound fertilizer on both sides of the ditch. When planting sugarcane in winter, organic fertilizer can be used as cover fertilizer. Early application of seedling fertilizer. The amount of fertilizer needed in sugarcane seedling stage is small but urgent. Early application of seedling fertilizer can not only benefit the growth of sugarcane seedlings and roots, but also promote the growth of leaves and tillers. When the sugarcane seedlings grow to 3-4 leaves, apply high-nitrogen compound fertilizer 8-10 kg per mu, combined with direct hole application of middle tillage and soil cultivation (should be mixed with water hole application in case of drought). Steady application of tillering fertilizer. The tillering fertilizer should be applied according to the seedling according to the location. if the basal fertilizer and seedling raising fertilizer are sufficient and the seedlings are strong, they can be applied at one time at the peak tillering stage, and the amount of fertilizer should be less; if the basal fertilizer is insufficient, the seedling fertilizer is not enough, and the seedling growth is weak, the amount of fertilizer should be increased twice (once in the early tillering stage to promote tillering, called attacking tillering fertilizer. Once applied in the peak tillering stage, to ensure strong tillers, called strong tiller fertilizer) application. Tillering fertilizer is generally applied with high-nitrogen and high-potassium compound fertilizer, with 815kg water hole application per mu (soil cultivation in time after application). Re-apply stem-attacking fertilizer. Stem attack fertilizer is the key to increase sugarcane yield. Generally, it is applied twice at the early and peak elongation stages, with 15 kg of high nitrogen compound fertilizer per mu, combined with ploughing and soil cultivation, in order to promote sugarcane root growth, strengthen absorption function and enhance lodging resistance. If phosphorus and potassium are insufficient in the early stage, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied to achieve maximum growth without reducing sugar content and yield due to excessive nitrogen fertilizer. Replenish strong tail fertilizer. In order to promote and maintain the later growth, facilitate the cultivation of underground sugarcane buds and lay a good foundation for the persistent roots of the following year, the strong tail fertilizer should be applied once with compound fertilizer 5kg / mu about two months before maturity. However, it should be noted that the application time of strong tail fertilizer should not be too late and the dosage should not be too much, otherwise it will lead to the delay of maturity and the decrease of sugar content. In addition, if there is a phenomenon of de-fertilization one month before harvest, one or two times of extra-root topdressing should be carried out. 0.2 kg of potassium dihydrogen phosphate per mu and 0.5 kg of urea and 100 kg of water should be sprayed evenly from top to bottom.
