  • Sugarcane setts planted in rounded pits espaced at 4 feet on either side with 16 to 18 two budded setts produced 110 MT of yield in one acre per year .

    At 4 feet spacings total number of pits per acre is around 2777 pits . At rate o 16 number of 2 budded setts , it arrives at total of 88864 buds

    At 65% germination , total number of viable buds are 57761 buds

    This 57761 buds produce on an average 3 sugarcanes

    So total number of canes per acre is 173283 canes

    Out of this 57761 canes are mother canes ( 33 % of total cane population ) . 40% of these mother can only survive and rest are lost through mortality .so viabe mother cane is 23,104 canes

    40% of 173283 canes are secondary canes – 69313

    80 % of secondary cane survive – 55450 numbers of secondary cane

    27 % of 173283 canes are tertiary canes – 46209

    60 % of teritiary cane survive ( 60 % of 46209 ) – 27725

    So

    Total number of primary canes – 23,104

    Total number of secondary canes – 48,519

    Total number of tertiary canes – 27725

    Total weight of mother cane @ 1.5 kg per cane is 34,656 kgs

    Total weight of secondary cane @ 1.0 kg per cane is 55,450 kgs

    Total weight of tertiary cane @ 0.720 kg per cane is 19,962

    Total cane yield per acre is 110.068 MT
