What weather has a great influence on sugarcane?

Sugarcane is a tropical and subtropical crop, which is sensitive to the growing environment. Weather is one of the key factors affecting sugarcane growth. What kind of weather has a great influence on sugarcane?

High temperature weather

Sugarcane likes warm and humid climate, and the suitable temperature is 20-30℃. Too low or too high temperature will affect the growth and development of sugarcane. In high temperature weather, sugarcane can't carry out photosynthesis normally, and photosynthetic products can't be converted into sugar and starch, which leads to poor growth and even withering and death of sugarcane.

Dry weather

Sugarcane needs enough water to grow and develop. Lack of water will cause sugarcane leaves to wither and droop, and at the same time affect its photosynthesis and nutrient absorption, thus affecting yield and quality. In the case of severe drought, sugarcane may even die.

Strong wind weather

The growth of sugarcane needs moderate wind power, which is helpful to increase air circulation, adjust temperature and humidity, and promote the absorption and distribution of beneficial substances. However, if the wind is too strong, it will do harm to sugarcane, such as destroying sugarcane stalks, damaging sugarcane leaves, breaking the stem neck, etc., which will seriously affect the yield and quality of sugarcane.

Continuous heavy rain

Rain is the water of life, but if it rains continuously, it will do harm to sugarcane. Sugarcane root system is shallow and dense, which is easy to be washed away, resulting in soil loss, weak leaves, too small fruit and reduced yield. At the same time, the rainy weather for several days will also reduce the plant height and growth rate of sugarcane.

Generally speaking, the weather suitable for sugarcane growth is warm, humid, with moderate wind, and the temperature, sunshine and humidity should be balanced and moderate. In order to ensure the normal growth of sugarcane, farmers need to adjust agricultural measures in time according to meteorological changes to maintain the stability of sugarcane growth environment.

Finally, we would like to thank the farmers who have cultivated the fields for us, so that we can enjoy delicious sugar cane. I hope everyone will respect nature, cherish food, resist waste, and make contributions to human food safety.
