Sugarcane Cultivation: Cultivate this super variety of sugarcane, there will be bumper yield

Sugarcane Cultivation: Especially the western region of Uttar Pradesh is known as the sugarcane belt. Farmers grow sugarcane in large quantities in districts like Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Saharanpur, Baghpat, Hapur, etc. But now it is seen that farmers are using sugarcane seed of the 0238 variety, which gives the highest production. Many types of diseases are affecting it, of which red rot disease is considered to be the biggest disease. Keeping these things in mind, the media team had a special discussion with District Sugarcane Officer Brijesh Kumar Patel. Let’s listen to what he says.

Farmers need to turn to new varieties

According to District Sugarcane Officer Brijesh Kumar Patel, now farmers are being given information about new varieties. According to him, farmers in Meerut and other areas are currently planting 0238 in large quantities. The reason for this is its excellent production. But it is very much affected by red rot disease. In such a situation, new species like 0118, 15023, 13235, 14201, 16202, 17231, 18231, etc., are being introduced to the farmers. So that farmers can move towards higher yields by sowing seeds of these new varieties.

These seeds can also be planted for other purposes

According to him, due to large-scale cultivation of sugarcane in Meerut and surrounding areas, now a large number of farmers in Meerut are growing new species. This will also require a large amount of seeds. In such a situation, when farmers use this product, they will also be satisfied. According to him, farmers are now getting very good yields from Zero 118. Also, the demand for its seeds is also increasing.
