Planting time
• In Bihar, sugarcane is planted twice a year in October – November (autumn) and February – March (spring).
• Approx 75 to 80 % of sugarcane in Bihar is planted during spring season and rest 20 to 25 % cane is planted during autumn season.
• The autumn planted cane gives about 20 % higher cane yield and 0.5 unit higher sucrose content, even though area under autumn crop is less due to late vacation of land after harvest of rice crop and excess moisture level during the months of October – November in waterlogged areas.
