What should be used in Sugarcane crop during August and September || Crop Reformer

In this brief video clip, we have advised some products to be used in sugarcane crop to increase the weight of the sugarcane to make it more profitable. Sugarcane has very important role in the economy of Pakistan. Sugarcane Research Institute has been playing its important contribution in developing new varieties. HSF-240 has been adding billions of rupees since 2002 but now this Ratoon king has become old and its cultivation is advised to be limited. Cp-77-400 is ruling not only for sugar purpose but also for GUR (Jaggry) making all over the three sugar producing provinces of Punjab, Sindh and KPK. CPF-247 was very soft and sweet but now better varieties have been introduced from the seed (fuzz) of Canal Point (CP Florida USA). Out of these, CPF-249, CPF-250, CPF-251, CPF-252 and CPF-253 have been introduced during the recent years. Important features of these varieties like sugar recovery percentage, cane production, resistance against disease, insect and weather condition has been discussed individually. Moreover, lodging tendency, ratoon ability, earliness and maturity period has also been covered in this video. September sowing of sugarcane was introduced in Punjab 40 years ago. Climatic conditions have changed and recommendations of sowing date needs review. We have suggested that it should mostly be planted in the month of October for better germination and for incorporation of an intercrop. New weeds, diseases and insects have also appeared as a result of change in the climatic conditions. We have also addressed these pests in this video. Scorching temperature of 47 centigrade during the months of May and June has lead us to cater more and more inputs especially of fertilizer and irrigational requirements. #sugarcane #cropreformer
