A single publication collating sugar-cultivation practices in different states of India is still unavailable. The present textbook is penned by the eminent scientists of ICAR-Indian Institute of Sugarcane Research, an umbrella institute under ICAR, dedicated to research on fundamental and applied aspects of sugarcane. The book attempts to address sugarcane cultivation practices in Indian states. The book comprehensively presents the recent cultivation practices of 17 states with detailed description on climatic conditions, soil, sugarcane-based cropping systems, preparatory tillage/field preparation, planting methods and geometry, fertilizer and manures, their time and method of application, irrigation/water management, intercultural operations, weed management, plant-protection strategies, harvesting, jaggery making, ratoon management, cultivation economics and constraints in sugarcane cultivation in a simple and lucid way. Each chapter caters to a single state. Since the information pertaining to sugarcane management practices being followed on different states of the country is not available at one place, this textbook will be a knowledge resource for the vast network of sugarcane research, training, extension and development activities.
