Sugarcane Drip Irrigation

Growing sugarcane through sub-surface drip irrigation results in a lot of sustainable economic, production, and environmental benefits. If you’ve decided to grow sugarcane with sub-surface drip irrigation , you’ve won half the battle! Reading these five quick tips will help you win the remaining half. This blog discusses five tips to help you optimize the benefits, efficiency, and sustainability of sub-surface drip irrigation (SDI) to grow more sugarcane. What is Sub-Surface Drip Irrigation? As a sugarcane farmer, you may be aware of the basic concept of sub-surface drip irrigation. Nevertheless, for the newbies, or farmers wanting to venture into sugarcane farming, here’s what is sub-surface drip irrigation (SDI). SDI involves the application of water through emitters turned on in the inner wall of the drip line. The typical discharge rate in SDI is in the rage of 1.0 – 3.0 LPH, which is the same as surface irrigation. SDI helps farmers grow more sugarcane, improves crop quality

 Sugarcane is one of the largely cultivated crops in India. Sugarcane farmers are always looking for higher crop yields, increased profitability, higher sucrose content, and an extended flavor life, and reduced operating costs. Drip irrigation works as a solution here, which is why sugarcane farmers have been upgrading their fields for drip irrigation. The challenge for sugarcane growers Sugarcane yield has a rapid response to temperature, solar radiation and soil conditions. However, in an open farm area, temperature and radiation are beyond human control. Here, drip irrigation plays an important role because it controls every drop of water and nutrients going into the crop, and that too at the right time, with high sucrose content and extended plant life, of high volume and yield. As a result of quality. How precision irrigation helps The subsurface drip irrigation of Netafim helps to increase sugarcane yields directly through the supply of nutrients and water to the root of the crop
