Application Rates
Sugarcane is a massive biomass producer. Apply 600 to 800 kg of Vermicompost per Bigha. Because sugarcane remains in the field for 10-14 months, it absolutely requires the slow, sustained nutrient release that only organic compost provides.
When to Apply
Apply in furrows at planting and again during earthing up (90-120 days).
Step-by-Step Application Guide
Deep Furrowing
Dig 10-inch deep furrows for planting.
Basal Dose
Apply 600kg/bigha directly in the furrows.
Sett Placement
Place sugarcane setts over the compost.
Earthing Up
At 4 months, apply 200kg more while hilling soil.
Sustained Growth
Ensure nutrients last for the long 12-month cycle.
Protection from disease
Mitti Gold Vermicompost builds a strong defense against vascular wilt and red rot (in sugarcane). It enhances the soil's organic carbon, which supports microbes that naturally suppress Tikka disease and boll rot.
Thick Canes and High Sugar Recovery
Excessive chemical urea causes high water retention and low sugar. Vermicompost produces significantly thicker, taller canes with solid internodes. The juice quality and overall sugar recovery percentage at the mill drastically improve.
Healing Degraded Soils
Continuous sugarcane farming depletes soil carbon, turning fields into hard brick. Vermicompost instantly re-introduces organic carbon and earthworms, loosening the soil matrix for deep root penetration.
Sugar Mill Returns
Mills prefer cane with higher sucrose content and less water weight, resulting in fewer rejections and better overall pricing per ton.
