e1“to evaluate the effects of combinations of trash management with key cultural practices (stubble shaving, ridge dismantling, sub-soiling along stubble rows, trash mulching and earthing-up) on growth and yield of sugarcane up to the third ratoon”
e3“Both these treatments produced significantly higher shoot populations, leaf area index (LAI), dry matter (DM) accumulation, net assimilation rate (NAR), number of millable canes, ratoon cane yield and sugar, soil organic carbon (SOC) content at harvest and higher net returns besides lowering weed density, weed dry weight and bulk density of soil compared with other treatments”

- Intervention effect The T5 and T6 combinations showed similar growth, yield and economics in ratoon crops.
- Intervention effect Both T5 and T6 significantly increased shoot populations, leaf area index and dry matter accumulation compared with other treatments.
- Intervention effect Both T5 and T6 significantly increased net assimilation rate, number of millable canes and ratoon cane yield compared with other treatments.
- Intervention effect Both T5 and T6 significantly increased net returns compared with other treatments.
- Intervention effect Both T5 and T6 significantly lowered weed density and weed dry weight compared with other treatments.
- Intervention effect Both T5 and T6 significantly lowered soil bulk density compared with other treatments.
- Intervention effect T6 yielded 23, 27 and 29% more cane than trash burning alone in first, second and third ratoon crops.
- Intervention effect T6 had the same yield as T5.
- Intervention effect T6 gave greater benefit: cost ratios than trash burning only in first, second and third ratoon crops.
- Intervention effect Crop management components, separately or in combination, improved ratoon crop performance compared with trash burning only.
- Intervention effect Trash mulching sustained improved yield and economic returns of sugarcane ratoon crops.
