1、Use of compost and phosphate

In this work, we studied whether the use of low solubility P fertilizers such as compost or rock phosphate along with the co-inoculation of PSB improves the availability of P in soil and leads to both changes in the structure of the bacterial community and abundance of predicted functional genes.

Optimizing Soil and Fertilizer Phosphorus Management

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the suitable range of available phosphorus (P) and fertilizer application rate in a sugarcane-growing region with red soil in southern China.

Fertilizer source and application method influence sugarcane production

Through field studies carried out over two cropping seasons, we aimed to compare the performance of sugarcane at sites harvested in the early and late periods of the harvest season as a function of fertilizer sources associated with application methods.

Enhancing Phosphorus Uptake in Sugarcane: A Critical Evaluation of

Phosphate fertilizers play a critical role in sugarcane growth, providing essential nutrients, promoting root development, and enhancing disease resistance. Below are several methods for using phosphate fertilizers in sugarcane cultivation:

1. Base Fertilization

• Organic Fertilizer Selection: Organic fertilizers such as compost and animal manure are high-quality phosphorus sources. They enrich the soil with phosphorus, improve soil structure, and enhance water- and nutrient-retention capabilities.
• Application Timing: Before planting, spread organic fertilizer evenly across the field, then incorporate it into the soil by plowing. This ensures phosphorus is absorbed and utilized by the soil.
• Dosage: Adjust the amount based on sugarcane growth stages and soil conditions. Generally, 200–300 kg per mu (0.067 hectare) is optimal. Excessive application may lead to salt accumulation, hindering growth.

2. Topdressing

• Timing: Apply during the sugarcane growth period, typically in spring or autumn, when soil nutrients become insufficient.
• Methods: Use foliar spraying (e.g., potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution) or soil topdressing (dissolve phosphate fertilizer in water and apply around roots).
• Dosage: Depending on growth and soil conditions, apply 5–10 kg of phosphate fertilizer (e.g., potassium dihydrogen phosphate) per mu. Overuse risks soil salinization.

3. Irrigation and Drainage

• Irrigation Methods: Use drip or sprinkler irrigation for precise water control, avoiding overhydration and excessive soil moisture.
• Drainage Systems: Ensure timely rainwater drainage to prevent root hypoxia caused by waterlogging.

4. Pest and Disease Control

• Biological Control: Introduce natural predators like ladybugs or mites to suppress pest populations.
• Chemical Control: Use pesticides judiciously, selecting plant-safe and eco-friendly products, and strictly following dosage guidelines.

5. Soil Management

• Soil Testing: Regularly test soil pH, nutrient levels, and other indicators to inform fertilization strategies.
• Deep Tillage: Loosen compacted soil through periodic deep tillage to improve aeration, water retention, and root development.

6. Crop Rotation

• Rotation Practices: Avoid monocropping to reduce pest/disease risks and prevent soil nutrient depletion.
• Rotation Crops: Choose drought- and poor-soil-tolerant crops like legumes or green manure.

7. Scientific Fertilization

• Balanced Fertilization: Match nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium ratios to sugarcane needs and soil conditions.
• Fertilization Plan: Develop a science-based plan detailing timing, dosage, and methods to maximize efficacy.

successful phosphate fertilizer application for sugarcane requires integrating fertilization methods, soil management, pest control, and other practices. With rational fertilization and scientific management, sugarcane yield and quality can be improved while promoting sustainable agriculture.
