The disposable bagasse tableware produced is environmentally friendly and biodegradable, and is an alternative to disposable plastic tableware. Sugarcane bagasse is the residue left after sugar cane is squeezed. We use a lot of sugarcane bagasse raw materials in the production process. Sugarcane is a cash crop with high requirements on planting conditions and environmental factors. This article will explore the relationship between sugarcane planting conditions and environmental factors from the aspects of soil, climate, water resources and management measures.
Soil
1. Soil type
The most suitable soil for the growth of sugar cane is sandy loam, loamy soil or clay soil. This kind of soil has good water permeability, no water accumulation, strong water retention capacity and rich nutrients. Soils such as high zeolite soil, acidic soil, and saline-alkali soil are not suitable for sugarcane cultivation.
2. Soil pH value
The growth of sugarcane has high requirements on soil pH value. A pH value of 4.5 to 8.0 is suitable for the growth of sugarcane. If it exceeds this range, it will affect the growth, development, yield and quality of sugarcane.
3. Fertility
As a typical large absorber of nutrients, sugarcane requires relatively large amounts of nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and other elements. When planting sugarcane, you should choose soil that is fertile, rich in organic matter, and rich in nutrients. Otherwise, the yield and quality of sugarcane will be affected.
Climate
1. Temperature
The growth and development of sugarcane is dominated by temperature, and the suitable growth temperature is around 20°C to 35°C. If the temperature is too low or too high, it will affect the growth and yield of sugarcane.
2. Rizhao
Sugarcane loves light, and sunlight conditions are also one of the important factors that determine sugarcane yields. Under normal circumstances, the light intensity is 2000~5000lux, and 8~9 hours of light per day is appropriate.
3. Humidity
The level of climate humidity is also one of the factors affecting the growth of sugarcane. Too high humidity will cause sugarcane to grow slowly, wither, and reduce yield and quality; too low humidity will cause sugarcane to grow stunted.
Water Resources
1. Irrigation
Irrigation is very important for the growth of sugarcane, especially in arid areas where water is scarce. Reasonable irrigation time, method and amount can not only ensure the normal growth and development of sugarcane, but also improve the yield and quality of sugarcane.
2. Drainage
Since sugarcane has a large demand for water and a large amount of irrigation, it is necessary to ensure good drainage. The sugarcane root system is very sensitive to water logging. If it is in a humid environment for a long time, it will cause root rot and poor growth.
Management Measures
1. Fertilization
Reasonable fertilization can promote the growth and development of sugarcane and improve the yield and quality of sugarcane. According to the different stages of sugarcane growth and soil nutrient status, appropriate fertilizers are selected and applied quantitatively, regularly, and in batches. At the same time, fertilization should follow the optimization principle to achieve “reasonable fertilizer and optimal production.”
2. Weed control
Weeds are natural enemies of sugarcane and often compete with sugarcane for water, nutrients, light and other resources, causing great trouble to the growth of sugarcane. Therefore, keeping the fields pristine and clean and removing weeds in a timely manner is an important measure in sugarcane production management.
3. Pest Control
Sugarcane is susceptible to pests and diseases such as sugarcane borer, sugarcane worm, and fungi, which have a great impact on sugarcane growth and yield. Technical measures such as regular inspections, pest control, disaster removal and seedling retention, and early restoration of disaster-stricken fields can effectively prevent and control the occurrence of pests and diseases.
Summarize
Sugarcane growing conditions and environmental factors play a decisive role in the growth and quality of sugarcane. Reasonable soil, climate, water resources and management measures can improve the yield and quality of sugarcane, thereby improving the quality of bagasse disposable tableware.
