Abstract


Cane crushing and planting are almost synchronous. There is not much difficulty in securing sound and selected sets for planting, if cane crushing is in progress. It is the universal experience in all cane growing countries that top portions of canes germinate better than the bottom ones, but advantage is not fully taken of this to the right extent. Several ryots in the deltaic tracts of Godavari remove and reserve the tops for planting as crushing goes on and, when they find sufficient tops to plant a fair area, they stop their crushing and proceed with the planting. This is a very easy matter when irrigation water is easily and readily available.
