Artificial cultivation of black-skinned sugarcane

Sugarcane planting in the field does not start from seeds, and sugarcane seedlings are generally planted directly. There are many sources of sugarcane seedlings, mainly sugarcane stems, because buds will grow on sugarcane nodes. The method is to take the whole sugarcane stem, cut it into two-bud seedling segments, and then plant it horizontally or obliquely. In order to save labor, the whole plant is also planted flat. When the labor force is sufficient in the early stage, it is advisable to use two double-bud seedlings or three-bud seedlings at the top of the raw material stem to be harvested. This method can only be used for spring sowing or first post. Others include tillering seedlings and various lateral buds. In addition, the perennial root method can also be used, that is, when harvesting raw sugarcane, the sugarcane head is not dug, and the roots can be cut and drained for fertilization after harvesting. White leaf disease, stripe disease, leaf disease, etc. As long as you are sick, no matter what the disease is, there is no cure.
