RYK Mills|Which Field Should You Harvest First During the Crushing Season?

In today’s video, Nadeem Haider Chaudhary provides important guidance to sugarcane growers on the proper harvesting sequence during the crushing season, the correct harvesting method, and the condition of the soil at the time of harvest. The video explains which fields should be harvested first when the crushing season begins, why fields planned for replanting should be given priority, and how different crop types—including second ratoon, September-planted sugarcane, February–March planted sugarcane, and late-planted sugarcane after wheat—should be considered in the harvesting sequence. The video also highlights the importance of cutting sugarcane close to the soil surface and sufficiently low rather than leaving unnecessary cane portions above the ground. Proper cutting can help support better ratoon sprouting and maintain plant population for the next crop. Another important topic discussed is soil moisture at harvesting time. The field should be sufficiently dry so that harvesting operations do not disturb the cane stools and roots. Proper irrigation management before the crushing season can help provide suitable field conditions for harvesting and better ratoon growth.
