Soil preparation
Before planting

Follow local cash-crop packages (often high nutrient demand); soil-test when possible.

Active growth
Peak vegetative growth

Split nitrogen applications; match irrigation so nutrients reach the root zone.

FAO fertilization notes

Excerpts from CropWhen calendar notes that mention fertilizer, manure, NPK, or related terms.

Burundi Lows Northeast and East

It is an industrial crop grown by a state company. Spacing: continuous lines spaced apart of 60 cm. The first cut is made after 18 months of planting and at intervals of 12 months. It irrigates over hills and no iirigation in the shallows. Fertilizer NPKà growth phase is used (3-5 months after the resumption each annual cut). Applying fertilizers.

Cape Verde Semi-arid areas and sub-humid medium-low altitude

This culture clearly dominates the irrigated area (900 há = ​​50%), particularly in S. Antao and Santiago. organic and mineral fertilization during site preparation.

Madagascar Highlands North Zone

crops on lower slope. Without manure.

Madagascar North East Zone

Crops on lower slope. deep soils. mineral fertilizer input. Weeding. trashing

Madagascar North Zone

Irrigated. soft ground. Planting cuttings grooves. mineral fertilizer input. frequent weeding. 2 épaillages.

Niger Sahel

Culture irriguée.Traitement cuttings against the champigos. Planting cuttings after soil preparation. Intake of phosphorus at 100 Units P2O5 for planting; 100 units of nitrogen as urea and 150 units of K2O in the form of Potassium Chloride, planting and after 1 1/2 months. The irrigation water requirement is 20 000 m3 / ha. There are 4 cups avat end of cycle

Pakistan Irrigated areas of NWFP (Plains of NWFP)

Irrigation: Reccommended varieties are: Early maturing: CP 48-103, CP 51-21, CP 65-357, CPM-13, CO-1321, Mardan-93, JN 88-1, ABID-96, SPSG-26. Mid season: CP 77-400, CP 44-101, IM-81, L 62-96, Mardan-92, Bannu-1. Reccommended fertilizer application for sugarcane per acre is as follows. Urea: 2.25 - 3.5 bags/acre, DAP: 2- 2.25 bags/acre MOP/SOP: 2- 2.25 bags/acre.

FAQ: fertilizing Sugarcane

When should I fertilize Sugarcane?

Follow the stage cards above (soil prep → planting → mid-season). Exact rates depend on soil tests and local packages — FAO notes below show how growers describe fertilization in different countries.

Can I copy NPK numbers from the notes?

Treat them as historical/field guidance, not a prescription for your plot. Units and products differ by country. Confirm with agricultural extension before applying.

Not a fertilizer prescription. Over-application wastes money and can harm plants and waterways. Follow local extension packages.
