ADM urges sugarcane producers to take advantage of scientific advancement

Saturday, 13 October 2018 | PNS | Rudrapur

The Additional District Magistrate of Udham Singh Nagar, Jagdish Chandra Kandpal urged the sugarcane growers to seek suggestions from the scientists on how to  raise the quantum of their produce substantially while addressing an award presentation programme involving the  sugarcane growers at the collectorate in Rudrapur on Friday.

 He, further, said that the scientists have devised several means to help the sugarcane growers to reap maximum income out of the sugarcane cultivation. “The scientists are well aware of the problems the growers have been facing and if they use the means devised by them through painstaking study the growers would substantially raise their income out of the cultivation despite the land where they produce sugarcane remaining the same,” he said.

He also asked them to do away with the old and traditional process of cultivation which fetches yield much less than what is obtained through the newly devised one.

The district deputy sugarcane commissioner Dharamvir Singh said that the sugarcane development department is now engaged in encouraging the growers to opt for the trench methods of harvest.

He cited instances of several growers having raised the quantum of their produce per hectare over the past few years after they had opted for the trench method while shunning the traditional method.

Dwelling on the advantages of the trench method, he said that the cultivation under this process needs less seeds and the requirement of irrigation is also less than the traditional process.
