Sugarcane planting plays a vital role in crop yield and profitability, with farmers choosing between plant crops from setts or ratoon crops that regrow from old roots. While traditional methods like surface irrigation waste water and reduce efficiency, modern subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) delivers water and nutrients directly to the root zone, saving up to 50% water and boosting yields by 40–60%. This system not only improves sugar quality and reduces weeds but also supports fertigation, pest control, and soil enhancement. By combining SDI with good ratoon management and tools like GrowSphere™ Crop Advisor, farmers can optimize sugarcane planting, cut costs, and ensure sustainable, high-quality production.

When it comes to irrigation, two common systems often stand out: sprinkler pipes and drip lines. Both help farmers save water and boost productivity, but their application differs depending on the crop and land conditions. Understanding the difference between sprinkler pipes and drip lines helps farmers choose the right method for their fields. Sprinkler Pipes (Overhead Systems) Sprinkler irrigation delivers water through pipes that feed rotating or fixed sprinkler heads, mimicking rainfall across a field. This method is ideal for fairly uniform or large areas such as lawns, cereals, or field crops. Pros: Broad coverage: Suitable for large or uneven fields, easily adapts to different terrains. Quick and simple layout: Easy installation, especially where overhead systems already exist. Cons: Water waste: Sprayed water is prone to evaporation and wind drift, leading to inefficiencies. Overwatering risk: Wet foliage may encourage disease, reduce soil aeration, and in some cases, high-...

An acre may sound like a small piece of land, but in agriculture it can be a powerhouse of opportunity. By definition, one acre equals 43,560 square feet or around 4,047 square meters. To visualize, it is slightly smaller than a football field, making it a manageable yet highly productive unit for farmers. Acre in Context In India, farmers often relate an acre to local units such as bigha or katha, though the exact conversion changes by region. Knowing this measurement helps farmers compare land, plan irrigation, and calculate input needs more accurately. Uses of One Acre A one-acre plot can support a variety of farming practices. Many farmers dedicate it to vegetable cultivation, as crops like tomatoes, chilies, or leafy greens provide high returns in small spaces. Others may opt for orchards, planting mango, papaya, or guava trees with proper spacing. Some also transform one acre into a multi-purpose farm, combining food crops, fodder, and even livestock sheds, ensuring both income ...

Choosing the right garden sprinkler for crops is essential to ensure that plants of all types receive efficient and uniform watering. The Netafim Flexi Sprinkler Kit is a great example of a versatile system designed to maximize irrigation efficiency while being adaptable to varying crop needs. 1. Understand Your Crop’s Watering Needs Different crops have unique irrigation requirements. For example: Shallow-rooted vegetables like lettuce and herbs thrive on light, evenly distributed mist. Medium-depth crops such as potatoes and groundnuts need more targeted, moderate water delivery. Wider-spaced rows , such as those used for wheat or maize, require coverage over larger areas with consistent water distribution. A sprinkler system should align with these needs, ensuring water reaches the root zone without oversaturating or leaving dry patches. 2. Look for Uniform Water Distribution Uneven watering can impact crop health and reduce yield. The Flexi Sprinkler Kit’s D-Net nozzle , featuri...

Agriculture spans a diverse palette, from staple grains that feed populations to specialized plants that fuel industries. Understanding the distinction between food crops and industrial crops is vital for stakeholders from farmers to policymakers because it directly impacts food security, industry growth, and sustainable farming practices. What Are Food Crops? Food crops are cultivated primarily for human consumption. These include cereals such as wheat, rice, and maize, along with fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts. They form the backbone of daily diets across the world, ensuring nutritional security and meeting the essential calorie requirements of populations. What Are Industrial Crops? In contrast, industrial crops also referred to as non-food or technical crops are grown for raw materials used in manufacturing, renewable energy, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and other non-food applications. The Eurostat glossary defines industrial crops as those not sold directly for consumption ...
