Thip Kamphaeng Phet Sugarcane Academic Team Shares Tips on “Ratoon Cane Maintenance for Higher Yields and Greater Profits”

Following the harvest season, one crucial step that sugarcane farmers must not overlook is prompt "ratoon cane maintenance." This ensures the sugarcane is fully prepared for robust growth in the upcoming season.
The Thip Kamphaeng Phet Sugarcane Academic Team highly recommends two core practices for effective ratoon cane maintenance to achieve the best and most worthwhile yields:
  • 💧 1. Adequate Watering: Providing sufficient water increases soil moisture, allowing fertilizers and essential nutrients to dissolve more effectively. This enables the sugarcane's root system to fully absorb nutrients to nourish the stalks and leaves at maximum efficiency.
  • 🌱 2. Ratoon Cane Patching (Replanting): Regularly inspect your fields and replant in areas where the original cane was damaged or failed to sprout. Patching ensures the sugarcane grows densely across the entire planting area, maximizing both the quality and quantity of your yield.
Proper field management and nutrient care are like letting the sugarcane “eat well and fully.” The ultimate result is a higher-quality and more abundant harvest, bringing sustainable profits to our fellow farmers.
