ESTATE CROPS NEWS – The Bululawang variety is a high yielding high yielding sugarcane variety, which has the characteristics of new shoots that continue to grow before the cutting period. Before being used, seeds of superior varieties must be certified to ensure their quality, both genetically, physically, physiologically, and pathologically.

Continue ReadingESTATE CROPS NEWS – Sugarcane ( Saccharum officinarum L.) is a plantation crop that is included in the self-sufficiency program. Its development needs to be stimulated by providing some technological input, especially agricultural tools and machines. Most of the sugarcane plants in Indonesia are sugarcane farmers or people’s sugarcane. Sugarcane plantation area is 429.929 hectares (Ditjenbun, 2019). The projected national […]
