Growing late spring sugarcane after wheat crop: A beneficial crop for north India

In spring sugarcane better yield and returns can be expected by selecting suitable varieties, which have the capacity for better germination and tillering. Planting of pre-sprouted setts enhances the germination of spring crop of sugarcane. Higher seed rate for planting, deeper planting depth and one pre-planting irrigation would result in better plant stand and productivity of spring sugarcane.
