The Standard "Technical Specifications for Field Propagation of Detoxified and Healthy Seedlings of Sugarcane" (T/CATEA 007-2023) was published on January 1, 2023. This standard is aimed at the cultivation and propagation of sugarcane seedlings that are free from viruses and other pathogens, ensuring high-quality planting materials for farmers. It outlines detailed procedures for the selection of healthy parental plants, the establishment of nurseries, field management practices including irrigation, fertilization, pest control, and disease prevention measures. The standard also emphasizes the importance of regular monitoring and testing to maintain the health status of seedlings throughout their growth cycle.
Furthermore, it provides guidelines on harvesting techniques to preserve the genetic integrity and physiological condition of the sugarcane seedlings for distribution and subsequent planting in commercial fields. This ensures that farmers can achieve optimal yields while minimizing risks associated with viral diseases which are known to significantly reduce crop productivity and quality.
