CaneGro : A Productivity Enhancer, on Farm and in Sugar Mills

By Chinmay Sardeshpande | 01-04-2025 | Page: 48-52

Abstract

Sugarcane is a major cash crop in several major states and agro-climatic zones in India. The area under cultivation has remained comparatively static over the past 10 years but the yields have been increasing steadily due to various interventions including improvement in crop breeding, agronomic practices and better plant protection tools. This has contributed to a significant increase in overall sugarcane on-farm productivity. However, there is still a major gap between the actual yield and productivity potential as well as actual sugar recovery versus the potential. CaneGro bridges this gap, both from an on-farm cane yield increase and in-mills sugar recovery increase perspective. Current review elaborates on applications of CaneGro as both for crop productivity and sugar recovery enhancer.
