TC Sugarcane Plants

General Information :

Sugarcane is the main crop that contributes approximately 56% of the total sugar production in the world. Sugarcane (Saccharum sp.L.) is the main source of sugar in India and holds a prominent position as a cash crop and good planting material contributes to higher yields. Maharastra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh are major sugarcane growing states in India.

Why TC Madhuras Sugarcane?

  • The plantlets are true to type and free from virus, Pest, Nematode and Diseases at the time of supply.
  • High survival rate of plantlets.
  • High seed multiplication ratio. i.e. 1:25 against 1:10 in conventional method.
  • Quicker and more than 95% germination ability of the planting material.
  • Increase in sugarcane yield up to 28 to 30 tons per hectare.
  • Due to pure variety, increase in sugar recovery.
  • Helpful in implementing season and varietal planting and harvesting program in sugar factory.

 

Mode of Application / Agronomy

Soil : Sugarcane grows best on medium heavy soils, but can also be raised on l ighter soils and heavy clays, provided there is adequate irrigation available in the former type of soils and drainage is good in the latter type of soils.

Climate : Temperatures above 50 C arrest its growth; hose below 20 C slow it down markebly and severe frost proves fatal.

Variety : CO-86002, CO-86032,CO-671, CO-5071, CO-5072 etc.

Seed Material : Healthy seed material, free from pests and diseases, and having high viability is essential for establishing the crop in the first instance. 4000-4500 plants per acre required for TC raised sugarcane.

Season of planting : February and March

Planting : For tissue cultured plants, give light irrigation in furrows and for planting put whole plant with net pot in pit. Cover pit with soil. Flat system: Mainly followed in the subtropical states.

Spacing : 1m x 1m for TC raised primary plants.

Harvesting: TC raised sugarcane variety CO-786 and CO-86032 harvested after 8 months of planting and can be used for commercial seed.

Yield* : Generally farmers are getting fifteen time sets of seed for commercial cultivation from TC plants planted.

 

* varies with field conditions
