A farmer applied Sufala (All-in-One) as a foliar spray to enhance sugarcane crop performance. The objective was to evaluate its effects on growth parameters, including plant height, girth, sugar content, and overall yield.
Observations
1. Vegetative Growth
•The sugarcane showed vigorous early-stage growth, evident in the dense and healthy field.
•Uniform shoot development and increased tillering indicated enhanced root activity and nutrient absorption.
2. Plant Height
•A significant increase in cane height was observed, with stalks reaching heights comparable to four adult men stacked vertically.
•Accelerated internodal elongation was evident.
3. Girth and Strength
•The canes exhibited increased thickness and sturdiness, suggesting improved mechanical strength and greater juice extraction potential.
4. Early Maturity and Yield
•The crop reached harvestable maturity ahead of the usual cycle, reducing the overall growth period.
•Yield per acre increased significantly due to a higher number of millable canes and overall biomass.
5. Sugar Content
•Preliminary on-site Brix measurements showed a notable rise in sugar levels, indicating improved photosynthesis and carbohydrate accumulation.
Conclusion
The foliar application of Sufala (All-in-One) demonstrated significant improvements in sugarcane growth, including plant height, girth, early maturity, and sugar recovery. The farmer experienced higher yield and faster turnaround, showcasing the effectiveness of this approach in enhancing sugarcane productivity.
