How is sugar cane grown? Should we use seeds or tubers? Sugarcane is very common in our daily life, so many people grow sugarcane in Guangxi. There are many varieties of sugarcane, including black sugarcane, green sugarcane, yellow sugarcane and purple sugarcane. My village mainly grows purple sugarcane, all of which are cut down to squeeze sugar. About 20 kilometers away from my home, there are many kinds of black sugarcane, which are very common in the market and crisp and sweet. It is also the season to eat sugar cane. I sell black sugarcane 8- 10 yuan here. How is sugar cane grown? Seeds or tubers? I also have a kind of sugar cane at home. Let me give you my opinion.

Sugarcane seeds or tubers? People who have never planted sugar cane may wonder, do you plant sugar cane with seeds or tubers? Sugarcane is a perennial plant, and tubers with bud eyes can be planted when planting. When I plant sugarcane at home, when I cut sugarcane, I will choose cane tails with thick buds as sugarcane seeds to hide, so that I can use them when I plant them the next year. Generally, we will store it in a cool place and then cover it with sugarcane leaves to avoid excessive water loss. Someone dug a big pit in the sugarcane field, then put the tuber in it, covered it with sugarcane leaves, and finally covered it with a thin layer of soil.

Of course, some people buy sugarcane seeds in the market to grow them, but I have never seen this method. What I have seen is planting sugarcane tubers directly. It is usually planted for about 3 years, and the roots of sugarcane are dug out and replanted. Selection of sugarcane varieties: Before planting sugarcane, you need to choose a variety, whether it is black-skinned sugarcane or purple-skinned sugarcane. This needs to be confirmed. Like black-skinned sugarcane, it needs to be watered more during the whole growth period, but not too much, otherwise the sweetness will drop, and the sunshine is abundant, the soil is fertile and the texture is loose, otherwise it will not grow well. Relatively speaking, purple sugarcane is much better to grow, and it should be planted according to local conditions. Sugarcane planting time: sugarcane can be planted in February-April or August-September. Sugarcane is a warm sun crop, and it is decided according to the local temperature when planting. Generally, 20-30℃ is suitable for its growth.
