Sugarcane + Onion were planted on same day. Onion was planted on raised bed whereas sugarcane in furrows. Sugarcane setts were covered with 3-4 cm soil. Pendimethalin herbicide was sprayed on soil surface after two days of onion transplant. Whether sugarcane germination will be affected due to heavy rainfall on next day of spray? We suspect that pendimethalin may come in direct contact of sugarcane buds.
You will find out. But it might be worth doing the trials in a glasshouse too
No adverse effect was observed on germination of sugarcane. Excellent germination in furrows clearly indicates no adverse effect of heavy rainfall on the next day of spraying of pendimethalin on sugarcane germination.
Sugarcane production: impact of climate change and its mitigation 13: 214-227. Sugarcane is a
climatic sensitive crop: therefore, its spatial distribution on the globe is restricted as per the suitability of various climatic parameters.
The climate change, though, a very slow phenomenon is now accelerated due to natural, as well as enormous human activities disturbing
the composition of atmosphere. The predications of various climatic models for probable rise in temperature, rainfall, sea level show an
alarming condition in forthcoming decades. As the sugarcane is very sensitive to temperature, rainfall, solar radiations etc. therefore, a
significant effect on its production and sugar yield is expected in future. It is also well known that sugarcane is one of the precious crops
of the world and its end products i.e. sugar and ethanol have a continuous growing demand on global level. Hence, the studies related to
good production of sugarcane in changing conditions of climate has become one among the front line area of research and is a major
concern of scientist’s world over. Advance agronomic measures including development of suitable cane varieties susceptible to changed
climatic conditions, land preparation, time and pattern of plantation, weed, disease and pest managements, nutrients managements,
proper timing and adequate water management seems to be the affective measures for obtaining high production of crop with good
quality juice in future.
