100+ Tons Sugarcane Yield with FarmRich Technologies
Sugarcane is a high-value crop — but to unlock its true yield potential, it needs timely nutrition, precise operations, and balanced inputs. Here’s a sugarcane nutrition management plan, trusted by progressive farmers and powered by FarmRich’s proven product range.
✅ Stage 1: Germination Phase (0–45 Days)
Goal: Healthy sprouting & strong root establishment
| Input | Dose | Mode |
|---|---|---|
| DAP (18:46:0) | 50 kg/acre | Basal soil application |
| SSP (Single Super Phosphate) | 100 kg/acre | Basal soil application |
| Silicon | 80 kg/acre | Soil soil application |
| Micronutrient Mix | 10 kg/acre | Soil soil application |
| Oos Master | 100 kg/acre | Soil soil application |
| Fertigation #1 (15 DAP) | NPK 11:11:08 – 2 L 19:19:19 – 3 kg Urea – 5 kg Humiful – 1L | In 200 L water via drip |
💡 Tip: Keep soil moisture consistent for uniform sprouting.
✅ Stage 2: Tillering Phase (45–120 Days)
Goal: Max tiller formation, canopy development & strong stalk base
| Input | Dose | Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Fertigation #2 (30–40 DAP) | NPK 08:08:08 – 2 L Nutrich – 2 L 12:61:00 – 3 kg Urea – 5 kg | 200 L water via drip |
| Top Dressing | Oos Master – 100 kg/acre Pushpa – 30 kg/acre Purna - 50 Kg/acre Urea - 90 Kg/ Acre 24:24:00 - 100 kg/acre | Soil application |
| Foliar Spray #1 (45–50 DAP) | Foster -500 ml BioRich Gold – 1 l 19:19:19 – 1 kg Urea – 1 kg | In 75 L water (5 pump loads) |
| Earthing-Up #1 (60–75 DAP) | Light earthing using inter-row soil | Manual or mechanized |
💡 Tip: Strong tillers now mean higher cane count later.
✅ Stage 3: Grand Growth Phase (120–210 Days)
Goal: Cane girth increase, internode elongation & strong photosynthesis
| Input | Dose | Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Foliar Spray #2 (90–100 DAP) | 12:61:00 – 1 kg Urea – 1 kg | In 90 L water (6 pumps) |
| Foliar Spray #3 (120 DAP) | 13:40:13 – 1.5 kg Magnesium Sulphate – 1 kg MicroRich Combi – 2 gm/L | In 135 L water (9 pumps) |
| Earthing-Up #2 (120–150 DAP) | Full earthing for tall cane support & moisture retention | Manual or tractor-operated |
💡 Tip: Adequate potassium boosts juice content & cane strength.
✅ Stage 4: Ripening & Maturity Phase (210+ Days)
Goal: Improve juice quality, harden stalks, prevent splitting
| Input | Dose | Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Cane Development (210–240 DAP) | 0:52:34 - 4 Kg/acre Nutrich - 2 Lit | Drip as needed |
| Final Ripening Support | Stop Nitrogen (Urea) Focus on MicroRich + Potash + Magnesium | Drip as needed |
| Irrigation Regulation | Reduce water gradually after 270–300 DAP | Drip or furrow control |
💡 Tip: Controlled irrigation enhances sugar recovery.
🐛 Pest & Disease Protection
- Early & Top Shoot Borer: Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC – 150 mL or Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG – 80 g/acre in 200 L water
- Red Rot: Hexaconazole 5% SC – 400 mL/acre; treat seed setts with Carbendazim 50% WP (0.1%) before planting
