Studies on response of sugarcane to addition of secondary and micronutrients at hilly upland
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: Field trials were conducted to compare the effects of different secondary and micronutrients and the mixture (mixture of Ca, Mg, B, Zn and Mn) on sugarcane at hilly upland. Results indicated that, in combination with NPK-specific fertilizer, application of various secondary and micronutrients and the mixture, did not influence the number of tillers and the diameter of cane stems though, addition of Mg, B, Zn, Mn and the mixture significantly increased plant height and the length of commercial stem. Application of Mg, B and the mixture significantly increased single-cane weight, addition of Mg, Mn and the mixture significantly increased cane yields, however, addition of Ca, Zn and B did not increased or ever decreased yields to different extend. Therefore, addition of appropriate quantity of Mg and Mn was recommended in manufacture of the specific fertilizer for hilly upland sugarcane production in Guangdong.
