Back-breaking work improves sugarcane structure and productivity

The regularization also helps to reduce erosive processes, especially in sections vulnerable to flooding, preserving the physical structure of the soil. With a more stable terrain, the movement of machinery becomes safer and more continuous, allowing management operations with less compaction and higher yield. The adjustment also favors the distribution of water in the field, increasing infiltration and stimulating root formation, a condition that is reflected in more vigorous plants and with better response capacity throughout the cycle. In some areas, the procedure can be associated with the localized application of herbicides between the rows, a strategy that optimizes the control of weeds and integrates different stages of management. Another relevant effect is the accumulation of soil at the base of the ...
