Principles of good sugar cane farming
Sugar Cane cultivation is a very profitable cultivation for the farmer, this can be done by anyone whether employed or employed! The bottom line is to make sure he is fully committed to making sure you invest his mind in cultivating this crop.
There are 2 main types of sugar cane in the most cane-seeded varieties which are:
1. Friendship
2. Red cane.
What you need to do in cultivating this farm is, First, look for one acre of land and then start preparing but consider avoiding spending as much as possible - for other activities you can do on your own. weeding etc.
Find the Bungala Cane seedling this cane is very soft and easy to brush with teeth, after finding the cane cut into 3 pieces of polka dot. Remember that the cane is very easy to attack by ants once they are planted.
To prevent ants from going to the ants, go to the farm and buy one of the following drugs: -
1. TAP 4% GR Apply 100 grams of pills to approximately 20 liters of water and spray in cane stems.
2. Taniprid 25 WG. Use 100 grams of medicine for about 20 liters of water or you can also put one teaspoon of tea in each trunk.
3. Imida Gold 20 Mls for 20 liters of water and spray on the stem.
4. Gammalin 20. Use 100 grams for approximately 20 liters of water. And sprinkle in cane slices or squeeze cane slices in those 20 Gammalin-containing water and then go and plant them in your garden.
5. Gladiator FT.
6. Stom
Things to do:
Take into account whether you use either Gladiator or Gammalin or Stom, take a 20-liter bucket of water and mix it with the medicine you bought and then take a piece of lawn and dip it in the water and then go to plant it in your garden, so the potential for all your cane will be high. because the biggest problem is the ants and you will already have control over them.
PLANT PLANT
Make sure that when you plant your cane leave one meter (1m) between the plants and the seedlings. Also make sure you have a space of 1m between row and row. Remember earlier we said you cut your twin to three pieces, so now as you plant this cane make sure all 3 dots are submerged in the ground and only a small portion will remain on the surface and your lawn will fall to the ground to sleep average of 30 degrees.
The pimples in your cane will remember exactly where the cane blooms and grows. The logic of leaving a big gap between the stem and the stem is because your one plant you planted can sprout more than twenty springs if you let the stem continue to bear just as much as it wants and eventually your field will become even more impassable.
But worse is that your cane will be in poor health and at the end of the day your cane will not be as good as the price will not be good when you decide or when the sale will arrive. So you are advised to leave between five to ten cane but for example leaving five cane in one stem is clear air and light will be sufficient for the field but even some food and other nutrients for the cane will be sticky and not sticky so at the end of the day you will find tall and thick cane that the marketplace will have a huge impact on customers.
For example suppose you have plowed a small plot of 50 meters wide by 70 meters high, documenting the cane planting method we mentioned earlier at a distance of one meter per stem. So for the plot of this field you will have 70 × 50 = 3500 seedlings or stems planted (three thousand five hundred stems) now assume in simple terms that each stem has allowed only five cane to grow, meaning 3500 stems will multiply 5 times where it will be 3500 × 5 = 17,500 that will be the total amount of sugar cane to be harvested in the field.
With research done that shows you don't want to have a problem and you need a quick cash out there on the farm, then you can aggregate your cane at a very low price - let's argue that we need quick cash so we can sell one cane for a total of 300 so what you will get will be 17,500 × 300 = 5,250,000 (five million two and a half million). That's some quick money out there on the field.
But if you can move more and sell at a profit because if you have been able to fight to grow it is clear that you deserve a good profit for yourself, it is important to look at markets in the suburbs, but if you are able to get to Dar es Salaam where their market is really big .
If you go to Kariakoo the retail price for a bungalow is approximately 5,000 feet high and the quarter price is 5,000 but if you go to the street the same kind of bungalow the price goes up to 3,500 so assume that you have been able to transport Dar es Salaam your cane, so your income if you decide to sell for the wholesale price of 1,500 per ounce so the amount of money you get will be equal to the number of your cane plus the sum of it would be 17,500 × 1,500 = 26,250,000. neither hast thou looked for a man.
Once you have plowed a small plot, now assume you have cultivated one acre and on a cane acre farm the lowest you will grow your cane is 24,500 cane. Now suppose you were able to take it to Dar es Salaam which means you will get a total of 24,500 × 1,500 = 36,750,000. Now for example, when you farm 4 to 5 acres there you are definitely coming from a low-income group and entering a middle-class economy. Well, we are not late but there are still opportunities available here to not only dare, God bless you as you enjoy this but also when you succeed and do not forget God for He is the pillar of all your success.
