Need to adopt latest techniques to increase sugarcane yield per hectare: Cane Commissioner

Punjab's Cane Commissioner Dr. Amrik Singh visited villages under the Morinda cooperative sugar mill and urged farmers to adopt latest cane techniques. He advised sowing the Asu-season crop by October 20, using upper cane tips treated with fungicide, wider-spaced furrows, and yellow mustard as intercrop, with judicious fertiliser use. Higher yields and incomes were highlighted as benefits.
