Abstract

Mechanization of sugarcane planting facilitates timely completion
of different operations with reduced labour, human drudgery and cost of operation. Furrow method of planting in deep furrows has been
found superior in comparison to flat method of planting in terms of
increased yield, reduced lodging and better ratooning due to deep rooting of crop. This method also facilitates furrow irrigation which increases irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) and saves irrigation water.
