Boost Sugarcane Yield 100x: Adopt Single Bud Method for January Planting
- •Farmers urged to adopt the 'single bud' method for sugarcane planting in January for higher profits and reduced costs.
- •Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Pathak highlights the single bud nursery technique, requiring only 20-22 quintals of seed per hectare, compared to 50-60 quintals traditionally.
- •This modern method allows 100 buds to be prepared from a single eye, significantly increasing seed multiplication and achieving 90% better germination.
- •Sowing involves deep plowing, creating furrows 3 feet apart, planting nursery-prepared single bud plants 1.5 feet apart, and immediate irrigation.
- •The technique promises a dense, healthy crop, leading to increased sugarcane production with less time and investment.
Why It Matters: Modern 'single bud' sugarcane planting boosts yield 100x, saves seeds, and ensures 90% better germination.
