Why isn't the sugar cane grown at home as sweet as that sold outside?

Sugarcane is an annual or perennial tropical and subtropical herb. Sugarcane is clustered with nodes and buds on the nodes. The internodes are solid, covered with wax powder, and the appearance is purple-red or yellow-green. Sugarcane usually has strong roots and stems 3-5 meters high. 2-4(-5) cm in diameter, 20-40 knots. The lower internodes are short and thick, and the stems are covered with white powder.

When we eat sugarcane, we will find that one end of many sugarcane is sweet and the other end is not sweet. The main reasons why sugarcane is not sweet are irregular growth, improper fertilization, insufficient soil fertility, bad weather and other factors. Sugarcane often absorbs nutrients from the bottom and then transports them to the top, which leads to uneven sweetness of sugarcane. Here are some ways to sweeten sugar cane.

1, till the fields before planting sugarcane.

One of the most important steps in planting sugarcane is ploughing. Usually we plough the land with machines, and then expose it to the sun for more than ten days, so that the soil can absorb nutrients from the sun and make the soil environment more suitable for planting sugarcane. After exposure, the soil should be broken, so that the soil can fully absorb sunlight to store nutrients, and also "disinfect" the soil to provide a better environment for the growth of sugarcane.

2. Rational fertilization

Fertilization is also a very important step, because whether sugarcane is sweet or not depends largely on whether fertilizer is sufficient at this stage. With enough fertilizer, sugarcane can thrive and taste sweeter. In the late stage of sugarcane growth, it is necessary to apply fertilizer to sugarcane to ensure that sugarcane can have enough nutrients to grow.

3. Selection of sugarcane seedlings (varieties)

When selecting sugarcane seedlings, we should try to choose sugarcane seedlings with more buds, so as to cultivate more sugarcane seedlings and provide more choices for later seedling raising.

4. Maintain a reasonable planting density

To ensure a certain distance between sugarcane seedlings, generally about 20 cm, to ensure the growth of sugarcane seedlings, while not affecting the growth of other sugarcane seedlings.
