NOTE: For the first year donot immidietaly substitute 100% chemical fertilizer with the SIESTO GREEN products, as the soil is used to chemical fertilizer, it may affect the output. So the best way to substitute is by reducing 50% of chemical input in the first year, 25% the following 2nd year, & then another 10% by the 3rd year. After the 3rd year use synthetic fertilizer / inorganic fertilizer if their is a requirement depending on the soil health.

KEY FARMING POINTS
KEY FARMING POINTS
- SOIL TYPE = = Sugarcane is a long-duration crop. It can grow in almost any kind of soil that can retain moisture. It requires deep rich loamy soil for growth.
- SOIL PH = The ideal pH level for sugar cane is 6-7.5
- CLIMATE / TEMPERATURE = Sugarcane matures in 10 to 18 months depending on the climate. Sugarcane grows best in areas with 21˚C to 27˚C temperatures. Sugarcane grows well in tropical regions with 100-150 cm of rainfall well distributed throughout the year.
- SEASON OF PLANTING = Overall, the best time to plant sugar cane is latesummer and early fall, especially in regions with cool winters.
- MANURING & FERTILIZATION = Fertilizer requirements depends on the fertility or quality of the soil.
- WATER MANAGEMENT = Sugarcane crops prefer to be kept consistently moist in well-drained soil, but not wet or overly watered. On average, they require 1-2 inches of water per week, depending on the temperature. However, watering can be reduced if mature stems are to be harvested. A dry spell can be beneficial for slowing growth and increasing sugar production in the lower part of the stalks.
- Crop Cycle = 12 – 18 months.
- YIELD = 60-70 tonnes per hectare.
- Seed Treatment kit is optional.
- Bio-pesticides or Bio-fungicides can be applied on a preventive dosage or when any pest, fungal, or bacterial diseases are identified.
- Recommended dosage on this crop schedule can vary depending on soil health, environmental conditions, and pest attacks.
- Add available forms of Phosphorus and Potash depending on the crop and crop varieties before every Transplantation.
- Add available forms of calcium and magnesium as per the requirement.
- 1-acre POORNIMA KIT contains: -
- NPK caps = 2 caps
- Zinc caps = 1 cap
- Cropforce Nano Powder = 120gm
- Humigrow Nano Powder = 120 gm
- Mycorrhiza nano powder = 100 gm
- Biofertilizer is not a chemical fertilizer hence do not mix with agrochemicals.
- Do not expose to direct sunlight or heat.
- Use Bio-fertilizer before or after 3-4 days of use of chemical fertilizer.
- Please, clean the sprayer before the use of Bio-fertilizer or bio-pesticide.
