Saving in seed cane:
Traditional sugarcane farming system involve 6-7 ton per hectare seed cane in the form of sets of two to three buds (eye) mature sugarcane pieces which involve lots of burden in logistic make a cumbersome task to farmers for its treatment. The well treated single bud (weighed 10-12 gm) plants prepared by us (CATION saplings) require only one-ton seed cane per hectare, thus, a net saving will be @ 6 ton per hectare. Considering the area under cane (2021-22) in UP state which was reported around 23 lakh hectares, the gross saving of sugarcane would be around 138 lakh ton say 13 million ton, out of that an additional sugar around 1.3-million-ton can be produced.
