PSR || Technical Information || Statewise Average Sugar Recovery Data ||

“PSR is the First known product in the

category devoid of any Phytotoxicity,
Guaranteed performance on
improvement in recovery percentage of
sugar and millable cane yield proven at
leading Research Stations and Sugar
Mills”.

PSR Benefits : 1. PSR improves cane yields by 11-12 MT. Per hectare.
2. PSR improves cane quality in terms of
(a) Improving the cane quality like Brix & Pol.
(b) Does not allow sugar deterioration and recovery drop, upon
cane maturity thus allowing on extended cane harvesting post
cane maturity period.
3. Improves recovery percentage by 0.4 – 0.7 units.

PSR Cost benefit Ratio:- Minimum cost benefit ratio is 1:5 depending upon variety, time of
application and agronomic practices.

1. TNAU Madurai campus, Tamil Nadu
2. VIS, Pune, Maharashtra.
3. IISR, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh
4. UAS, Bangalore Mandya campus, Karnataka.

7. Non-conventional Method to Improve

Sucrose content in Sugarcane
Ripening technology using foliar application of ripeners such as Polaris, Glyphosate,
Fusilade Super, Ethephon, Mefluidide etc., is not successful in commercial sugarcane
plantation due to small land holdings, inter crops and difficulties in application. A
method has been developed to augment sucrose content in cane plant by applying new
generation sucrose enhancing chemicals through liquid line (irrigation water) or in
granular formulations.

Application of sucrose enhancing chemical .(DNC liquid @ 8-10 kg/ha in irrigation

water; DNC-granule@ 15 kg/ha). after cessation of grand growth period enhances
sucrose content in a few sugarcane varieties.

Abstract:

This paper discusses recent developments and trends in chemical ripening of sugarcane in
sugarcane-growing countries including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Cuba,
Guyana, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Mauritius, South Africa and USA. The efficacy of
chemical ripeners in increasing the sucrose content of sugarcane is discussed.
