Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Sugarcane growth metrics were highest when foliar fertilization occurred at the vegetative stage, with or without ripener.
- Intervention effect Treatment V (foliar fertilization at the vegetative stage) increased sugarcane stalk yield by 7.2 Mg ha-1 compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Treatment VM increased sugarcane stalk yield by 10.5 Mg ha-1 compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Treatment VMR increased sugarcane stalk yield by 9.2 Mg ha-1 compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Ripener application increased recoverable sugar by 7.2 kg per Mg of stalk.
- Intervention effect Combined fertilizer and ripener application boosted sugar yield by 2.1 Mg ha-1.
- Intervention effect Combined fertilizer and ripener application boosted energy production by 7.8%.
- Intervention effect Neutral invertase activity was highest in the VMR treatment.
- Intervention effect Sucrose synthase activity was lowest in the VMR treatment.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that combining foliar fertilization at vegetative and maturation stages with ripener application is an effective strategy to enhance sugarcane growth, yield and sucrose metabolism.
