Initial Fertilizer Plan for Ratoon Sugarcane || Crop Reformer

Ratoon sugarcane crop is a golden opportunity for farmers to reduce cost and increase profit, but its success depends heavily on proper initial fertilizer management. In this video, we will discuss the most important basal fertilizers that must be applied immediately after harvesting the plant crop to ensure strong regrowth and higher yield. Without proper nutrient supply at the start, ratoon crop becomes weak and unproductive. The first and most important nutrient for ratoon sugarcane is Nitrogen. Unlike plant cane, ratoon crop needs early nitrogen application because the root system is already established. We will explain the recommended dose of Urea per acre and the right timing for application after harvesting and trash management. Applying nitrogen at the correct stage ensures quick sprouting and healthy tillering. Phosphorus and Potash also play a crucial role in root strengthening and cane thickness. Fertilizers like DAP and SOP/MOP should be applied at the start if soil test indicates deficiency. Potash is especially important for improving sugar recovery and disease resistance in ratoon crop. We will also discuss how balanced fertilization improves cane weight and overall production. Another important factor is Zinc and other micronutrients. In many areas of Pakistan, zinc deficiency reduces ratoon crop vigor. Applying Zinc Sulphate at the time of first irrigation can significantly improve growth. We will guide you on proper method of fertilizer placement—whether to broadcast or side drill—for maximum efficiency and minimum loss. If you want maximum yield from your ratoon sugarcane with minimum cost, then this video is a must watch. Proper fertilizer planning at the beginning can increase your production by 15–25%.
