Boost Sugarcane Ratoon Yield: Key Steps for Record Production

• Harvest sugarcane close to ground level and trim stubble for strong tillers.
• Spray Carbendazim on cut stubble to prevent fungal attacks and soil-borne diseases.
• Use a 'Ratoon Manager' machine to loosen soil, aerate roots, and apply fertilizer deeply.
• Apply 25% more nitrogen (urea, DAP, potash) near roots; spray zinc and ferrous sulfate for greenery.
• Maintain moisture with light irrigation, manage weeds early, and monitor for pests like stem borers and pyrilla.
