In this video, an important point about application of fertilizers for sugarcane crop has been discussed. Sugarcane is a cash crop of Pakistan and is cultivated all over Pakistan where recourses of water are frequently available for irrigate fields of sugarcane because this crop needs a lot of water to grow and develop properly. Each and every farmer desires to get maximum yield of the crop but some factors stop its achievement like financial resources, non availability of resources and the type of land. Weather is also one of the major factors for better health, growth and development of plants. If weather and climate conditions remain favorable for the crop and essential inputs are made available to the crop, there are more chances of getting better yield of the crop. Pakistan is a developing country and inputs mainly fertilizers are becoming so expensive that it has become difficult for a common farmer to arrange all the necessary requirements of the crop.
Sugarcane has very important role in the economy of Pakistan. Sugarcane Research Institute has been playing its important contribution in developing new varieties. HSF-240 has been adding billions of rupees since 2002 but now this Ratoon king has become old and its cultivation is advised to be limited. Cp-77-400 is ruling not only for sugar purpose but also for GUR (Jaggry) making all over the three sugar producing provinces of Punjab, Sindh and KPK. CPF-247 was very soft and sweet but now better varieties have been introduced from the seed (fuzz) of Canal Point (CP Florida USA). Out of these, CPF-249, CPF-250, CPF-251, CPF-252 and CPF-253 have been introduced during the recent years. Important features of these varieties like sugar recovery percentage, cane production, resistance against disease, insect and weather condition has been discussed individually. Moreover, lodging tendency, ratoon ability, earliness and maturity period has also been covered in this video.
