Application of Manures and Fertilizers in Sugarcane Farming
Sugarcane crop is heavy feeder and long durational crop that also requires manures and fertilizers in more amount. So, it is a good idea to add about 50 tonnes of well-rotted farmyard manure at the time of soil preparation onwards.
However, following is a table about the application of manures and fertilizers in sugarcane production along with the time of application.
Time of Application Nitrogen (kg) Potash (kg) Phosphorous (kg)
At the time of plantation (10 % of N, 50 % of K &P ) 25 kg 75 kg 75 kg
Two months after plantation (40 % of N) 100 kg – –
Three months after plantation (10 % of N) 25 kg – –
Six months after plantation (40 % of N, 50 % of K &P ) 100 kg 75 kg 75 kg
Total 250 kg 150 kg 150 kg
Note: Your soil may not have ideal fertility or productivity. So, go for at least a single soil test before starting sugarcane production so that you can learn about the organic matter present in your soil.
