Abstract
At sugarcane harvesting, burning is a common practice in order to reduce time and labor. However, this practice is source of particulate matter resulting in air pollution, moisture loss, destroy microorganisms and poor soil fertility, affecting the ratoon germination and growth of ratoon cane. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the appropriate management of sugarcane straw for germination and tillering of ratoon cane. A field experiment was conducted at farmer’s field, Ban Phai District, Khon Kaen province. The experimental design was randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 4 replications and 3 treatments i.e., 1) burn, 2) mulch and 3) mulch + LDD1. Ratoon germination was recorded at 2 months after sugarcane straw management (MAS), stalk height, stalk diameter, SPAD reading and stalk numbers per hill were recorded at 4, 6, 8 and 10 MAS. Moreover, single stalk weight was recorded at 10 MAS. The results revealed that the burn treatment had the highest number of tillers per hill at 2 MAS (P<0.01). Stalk height, stalk diameter and SPAD reading were not statistically different among treatments throughout the experiment. Besides, the burn treatment provided the highest stalk number per hill compared to the other treatment at 4 MAS (P<0.01). On the other hand, the mulch + LDD1 treatment presented the highest stalk number per hill at 6, 8 and 10 MAS leading to the highest single stalk weight than other treatments (P<0.05). Hence, the burn treatment was practiced to high germination of ratoon. However when sugarcane developed to stalk elongation phase, the mulch + LDD1 revealed the highest stalk number per hill. Thus, sugarcane straw management by mulch + LDD1 at harvest enhanced the growth and yield of ratoon cane.
