Remarks:
- Apply entire dose of phosphorus as basal dressing. When pressmud at 10t ha-1 is applied sugarcane grown in Palakkad need be given only 50 per cent of the recommended dose of P as rock phosphate.
- In the black soil of Palakkad apply S at 60 kg ha-1 in the form of gypsum as a soil ameliorant before the final land preparation.
- Among the sources of sulphur, gypsum is found to be beneficial in sugarcane.
- Apply N andK2O in two split doses, the first 45 days after planting and the second 90 days after planting along with earthing up.
- Do not apply N beyond 100 days after planting.
