“…The increase in the sugar yield in different treatment over the control was due to increase in cane yield only. Singh et al (2007) reported that the application of sulphur @ 80 kg/ha increased the average yield of sugar 8.47 t/ha in comparison to control (6.58 t/ha). Sucrose content in cane juice increased from 14.66 to 15.68 and 16.04 to 16.86 at 10th and 12th month crop age in both the sources and levels of sulphur.…”

“…In alkaline calcareous soils, elemental S and, in non-calcareous coarse-textured soils, phosphogypsum were found to be efficient sources of S for sugarcane. Singh et al (2007) conducted a field experiment for three consecutive years in Entisol soil and studied the effect of varying levels of sulphur (0, 20, 40, 80 kg/ha) and two sources of sulphur on sugarcane plant. The application of sulphur up to 80 kg/ha to the crop from both the sources increased the cane yield significantly.…”

The experiments were conducted at two locations in Haryana. The treatments consisted of application of Cosavet Fertis (a sulphur containing fertilizer in Water Dispersible Granules (WDG) formulation) @ 18 kg S/ha ( at sowing ? at 75 days after sowing (DAS) or ( at 30 DAS ? at 75 DAS), Cosavet Fertis @ 13.5 kg S/ha ( at sowing ? at 75 DAS) or ( at 30 DAS ? at 75 DAS), Gypsum @ 25 kg S/ha and Control (No sulphur). At both the locations, the application of Cosavet Fertis @ 18 or 13.5 kg S/ha ( at sowing ? at 75 DAS) or ( at 30 DAS ? at 75 DAS) and Gypsum @ 25 kg S/ha produced significantly higher yield than control (No sulphur) and enhanced cane height, cane diameter, Number of millable canes over control. The increase the yield with the application of S ranged from 5.2 to 10.5% over control. These treatment gave Rs. 2938-5664 to additional return over control and cost benefit ratio (C:BR) ranged from 1.78 to 9.85. Application of Cosavet Fertis @ 18 or 13.5 kg S/ ha applied at at sowing ? at 75 DAS or at 30 DAS ? at 75 DAS, did not significantly increase the cane yield and yield attributing character over Gypsum @ 25 kg S/ha.

“…In addition to Ca and S from gypsum can improve acid soil, soil structure and nutrient balance for plant which may attribute good and healthy plant performance and increase plant yield (Toma et al, 1999;Viator et al, 2002;Singh et al, 2008). Singh et al (2007a) reported that S nutrient played an important role for improving the quality of sugarcane yield, such as sucrose content.…”

“…Application of sulphur up to 80 kg ha −1 to the crop from both the sources increased the cane yield significantly. The cane yield increased from 3.7 to 13.47 t ha −1 and 5.03 to 13.32 t ha −1 due to application of elemental sulphur and fertisulf, respectively over the control (Singh et al, 2007a). Viator et al (2002) recorded that application of gypsum as one of S source and compost can increase Ca and S leaf concentration.…”

“…In addition, long term overuse of the fertilizer can have a negative impact on the soil properties. Efforts in substitution of AS fertilizer as a source of Nitrogen (N) nutrient has been studied by several researchers using urea fertilizer (Vallis et al, 1996;Ismail & Simoen, 1999, Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer (Muchovej & Newman, 2004), filter-cake of sugar mill (Ismail & Simoen, 1999;Nasir & Qureshi, 1999;Singh et al, 2007a), liquid fertilizer (Ismail & Simoen, 1999), and a combination of chemical fertilizer and organic fertilizer (Bokhtiar & Sakurai, 2007). However, the substitutions have just replaced N nutrient in AS fertilizer but not for Sulfur (S) nutrient contained in the AS fertilizer Sulfur.…”

Abstract:Overuse of the Ammonium Sulfate (AS) fertilizer in the long-term sugarcane cultivation has a negative impact on the soil properties which in turn can decrease soil and crop productivity. The study to describe the residual effect of AS substitute fertilizers on soil physico-chemical properties and cane productivity compared with AS fertilizer, was conducted at up-land in East Java during two cycles of the sugarcane growth (plant cane and ratoon cane). There were ten treatments which were tested consisting of three treatments using AS fertilizer, six treatments using the AS substitute fertilizer, and one control (without the use of the fertilizers). The measured variables were soil bulk density, total N, SO 4 2-content, soil pH, and yield variables. The use of the AS fertilizer substitute decreased the soil bulk density and increased the total N, SO 4 2-content, and soil pH at the post-harvest of plant and ratoon cane. It confirmed a better condition in the soil with the AS fertilizer substitute rather than the AS fertilizer by itself. The residual effect of the AS fertilizer substitute on the soil properties at the post-harvest of plant cane significantly provided a positive impact on cane and sugar yield at the ratoon cane. The soil SO 4 2-and total soil N content were the most important soil properties that influenced cane and sugar yield of ratoon cane. It suggests that the use of the AS fertilizer substitute is recommended on sugarcane cultivation for minimizing adverse residual effect and maintaining the soil quality.

The idea of doubling the farmers' income in next 5 years has been slated by the Government of India. The specific target of increasing sugarcane farmers' income could be achieved by developing cost-effective technologies, transferring them from laboratory to land, educating the farmers and creating a linkage between all stakeholders. Consistent efforts shall be required to harness all possible sources for increasing farmer's income in and outside the agriculture sector with respect to improvement in sugarcane and sugar productivity, enhancement in resource use efficiency and adopting various other ways and means including intercropping, management of pests and diseases, use of biotechnological tools and minimizing post-harvest deterioration. The advances in sugarcane biotechnology could become remarkable in the coming years, both in terms of improving productivity as well as increasing the value and utility of this crop substantially. In future, genetically modified sugarcane varieties with increased resistance to different biotic and abiotic stresses would serve more towards sugarcane crop improvement. Any possibility of enhancement in the income of sugarcane farmers shall also be dependent upon the profitability and sustainability of the sugar industry. Integration of sugarcane production technologies for improvement in farm productivity, diversified sugarcane production system, reduced cost of cultivation along with increased processing plant efficiency and diversification to produce value added products shall ensure smooth and higher payment to the farmers. Development of low-cost technologies to convert "waste to resource" on a smaller scale shall also help the farmers to increase their income further. This paper focuses on possible measures to be taken up in each aspects of sugarcane cultivation including biotechnological approaches to achieve the goal of enhancing the income of sugarcane farmers substantially, particularly in the subtropical region of India.
