Pathways and Key Technical Measures for Improving Sugarcane Yield in China
Sugarcane production in China faces challenges such as poor soil conditions,frequent natural disasters,slow variety renewal,and outdated cultivation techniques,restricting the improvement of sugarcane agricultural yield.Currently,major sugarcane-producing regions in China are concentrated in Guangxi,Yunnan,and Guangdong,with varying production potentials in each region.This study integrates the natural ecological conditions and current status of sugarcane production in the three major sugarcane-producing regions.It proposes pathways for improving sugarcane yield in China,focusing on four aspects:breeding and promoting new sugarcane varieties,applying fully mechanized sugarcane production techniques,utilizing simplified green and efficient production technologies,and implementing comprehensive control of major sugarcane diseases and pests.Simultaneously,the study puts forward six corresponding key agronomic cultivation techniques,including new sugarcane varieties and virus-free healthy seedlings,warm water detoxification and healthy seedling production,water-saving and drought-resistant simplified production,techniques for extending the perennial duration of sugarcane for abundant yield management,water and fertilizer integration,and full mechanization of sugarcane production.These insights and references are proposed for the improvement of sugarcane agricultural yield in China.
