For reducing cost of cultivation and improving profitability through mechanization of sugarcane farming in tropical Indian conditions many farmers have adopted wide row sugarcane planting.
To facilitate mechanisation in sugarcane cultivation, wide row planting adopting a spacing of 150 cm is becoming popular. Further improve the cane yield under wide rows, a new technology, 'dual row planting' has been developed. In plant crop, variety Co 94005 recorded the highest cane yield under dual row planting.
In tropical zone without any yield reduction we can go for wide row planting and many of my experiments we're conducted in either 120 Cm or 150 Cm inter row spacing. But
I was more interested in feedback from Subtropicall zone where sugarcane is planted at 90 Cm or even less than 90 Cm.
