In order to meet the global demand for energy and sweeteners, India, the world’s second-largest producer of sugarcane, has gradually improved its output potential over the past 20 years. Planting is the most important and time-consuming stage of sugarcane production. Vegetative propagation of crops such as sugarcane, single-bud to six-bud setts, tissue culture prepared settling, or single-bud nurseries is a frequent practice. The majori ty of commercial planting systems employ ring pits, ridges and furrows, or flat planting. The sets with two buds have a better yield and a germination rate of 65 to 70%, according to the researchers. Larger setts do fare better in bad weather, even if single-budded setts also germinate 70% of the time if chemically treated. Partially or fully automated planting devices are used in modern sugarcane planting techniques. Even now, over 80% of the sugar cane planted in Brazil, Australia, India, and other nations is done by hand. These provide an overview of contemporary sugarcane farming methods in India. Adopting the finest planting practices is one of the most important research priorities that may be established to increase the sustainability of sugarcane production and secure its enormous potential, like sugarcane planting techniques.
