Using pelleted lateral buds of sugarcane stalk as seeds with an approach to improve sugarcane yield components
This study highlighted the potential of pelleted lateral buds' cultivation of sugarcane as a viable alternative over the traditional planting methods. The results suggest that this approach can reduce planting costs, improve resource efficiency, and enhance yield components. For future research, it is recommended to investigate long-term effects of pelleting on sugarcane ratoon crop exploring scalability of the method on large-scale mechanized cultivation.
