Nursery raising with High Density Sugarcane Transplanting for higher cane yield and profitability

In sugarcane, high density sugarcane transplanting (HDST) is done using 55,556 plantlets or settlings/ha by transplanting of the settlings raised in the nursery at narrow spacing (60 x 30 cm). Adaptation of HDST not only reduce the cost of sugarcane production but also improve number of millable canes, cane yield in plant as well as ratoon crop with higher net returns and profitability in Sub Tropical Zone of India.
