LESSON 5.65 SHUGAR CANE – HIGH PROFIT YIELDS

The following table shows the impact of drip irrigation over flood (furrow) for sugar production in Australia:

Comparison of Sucrose Yield – Furrow vs Drip Irrigation

Proven Irrigation Solutions for Sugar Cane

With increased pressure for profitability, more and more growers are choosing drip irrigation as an effective method for reducing costs and boosting yields.

We have the industry’s most extensive micro irrigation product portfolio and pioneered the development of integrated emitter SUBSURFACE DRP IRRIGATION T-Tape and Ro-Drip and moulded emitter drip lines: Eolos and D5000 PC. In addition, we bring over 50 years of field trusted drip irrigation experience and innovation with expertise in sugar cane irrigation:

 High Profit Yields

SUBSURFACE DRIP IRRIGATION delivers water and nutrients directly to the cane’s active root zone. With minimal evaporation and leaching, the crop gets the maximum benefit, which in turn means maximum growth.

Unlike some crops that can rely on intermittent water applications, cane yield responds positively to high frequency water applications. When a crop is flood-irrigated, a large volume of water is applied, followed by a prolonged dry period before the crop receives water again. This causes stress to the crop which can lead to under-development, especially in sandy soils.

SUPSURFACE DRIP IRRIGATION enables pulse irrigation, applying a small volume of water for brief but regular intervals.

This provides a better wetting pattern, reduces deep drainage and prevents undue crop stress that reduces yields.

In other words, drip irrigation gives your crop the best opportunity to reach its potential yield through high frequency irrigation leading to increased sugar production. Two such examples include:

Argentina: Industry stakeholder drip irrigation study site delivered 82% more yield than non-irrigated 

Australia: Even on sandy soil that is not ideal for cane growing, a sub-surface T-Tape     installation still achieved 172 ton/ha.

SOMO LA 5.66 MIWA YA SHUGAR – PUMZIA KIDOGO NA UHIFADHI MAFUTA NA MBOLEA.

Kuza Ukuaji Huku Unapunguza Mswada Wako wa Mbolea

Kuna njia moja tu ya bei ya mbolea inaonekana kwenda, na hiyo ni juu! Kwa hivyo, kupunguza gharama za mbolea ni muhimu kwa faida ya shamba katika siku zijazo.

Kurutubisha kwa njia ya matone huruhusu kudunga mbolea kupitia mfumo wa umwagiliaji, moja kwa moja kwenye eneo la mizizi hai la mmea. Sio tu kwamba njia hii ya fertigation hupunguza leaching kwa kiasi kikubwa, pia inawezesha matumizi ya dozi ndogo za mbolea katika vipindi vya kawaida, ambayo inakuza ukuaji.

Tumia SUBSURFACE DIP IRRIGATION ambayo kuokoa 50% ya maji na 50% ya mbolea ya maji.

Nyunyizia Kidogo na Okoa Mafuta

Magugu katika shamba la miwa yanaweza kuhitaji njia nyingi za kunyunyizia ili kudhibiti. Sio tu kwamba gharama hii kwa upande wa kazi, mafuta na dawa, kila trekta inapita huunganisha ardhi, na kuharibu eneo la mizizi ya mmea.

Kwa sababu UMWAGILIAJI WA MAFUTA YA NDANI YA JUU huweka maji chini ya uso, mifereji hailowei maji kutokana na umwagiliaji.

Bila maji, magugu hayawezi kuota na kukua, mara nyingi huondoa hitaji la kunyunyizia magugu kabisa. Umwagiliaji kwa njia ya matone pia unaweza kupunguza hatari na uwezekano unaofuata.
