GOAL
Increase productivity of sugarcane lands and profitability of sugarcane farming in a sustainable manner through appropriate improved crop, land and water management practices.
Our services run deep and are backed by over thirty years of experience.
PRIORITY AREAS
- Sugarcane variety testing: for maturity patterns, ratooning ability, agronomic and physiological performances, drought tolerance
- Land preparation: Soil bed requirements in different crop-growing regimes and different soil conditions to increase productivity and reduce costs
- Planting: Various plant propagation and planting techniques to minimise costs
- Ratoons management and trash management: to increase productivity and profitability
- Weed management: For effective control of weeds in sugarcane mono-cropped and inter-cropped fields
- Water management: For efficient use of available water
- Rain-fed farming: for achieving high yields under limited moisture conditions
- Diversification of land use: for increasing land use efficiency
SIGNIFICANT OUTPUTS
- Introduction of lateral shoot multiplication and spaced planting and spaced transplanting techniques for rapid propagation of planting material and reducing costs of seedcane.
- Recommendations for alleviating drainage problems in Sevanagala sugarcane plantations.
- Recommendations of weedicides and integrated weed management practices.
