Sugarcane Planting Made Profitable with Drip Irrigation Solutions


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.

Micro Irrigation vs. Drip Irrigation: What’s the Difference?

Image
  Water is essential for farming, and choosing the right way to water crops can improve growth, save water, and make farm work more efficient. Two widely used methods are micro irrigation and drip irrigation. Although they sound similar, they work differently and have unique benefits. In this article, we’ll break down how each system works, what makes them different, and how to decide which one is best for your crops. What is Micro Irrigation?   Micro irrigation is a method of watering crops slowly and directly at the roots. It uses low-pressure systems to deliver water in small amounts. This reduces waste and helps plants grow better. There are two main types of micro irrigation:  1. Drip Irrigation    This is the most common type of micro irrigation. Water travels through pipes and small outlets, called emitters, placed near plant roots. The water drips slowly into the soil, keeping it moist without overwatering.   2. Micro Sprinkler Irrigation...
