This publication promotes the principle of fallowing land between crop cycles of sugarcane with minimum disturbance of the soil during the fallow period. Best management practice relating to fallow and land management is important because it provides a sound basis for long-term sustainability and biodiversity of the overall sugarcane cropping system. This booklet contains information on planning for the next sugarcane crop, destruction of the previous sugarcane crop, land rectification and management of the fallow break crop. It, therefore, covers onfarm activities that are conducted towards the end of the last ratoon of the previous sugarcane crop and during the fallow period between successive sugarcane crop cycles.

The sugarcane crop, one of the most important crops commercially grown in about 115 countries of the world, faces a number of problems, such as low cane productivity, biotic and abiotic stresses, high cost of cultivation, postharvest losses, and low sugar recovery. This volume addresses these issues and provides a comprehensive account of the major advancements in sugarcane research. The book is compilation of recent achievements in sugarcane development and cultivation. It covers a number of improvements made in cane and sugar yield using both conventional and new biotechnological approaches by agricultural scientists and researchers. The comprehensive coverage includes sustainable sugarcane cultivation, development, and management of sugarcane production, covering farming and biotechnology, entomology, pathology, breeding, physiology, biotechnology, agronomy, seed production, and more. It also presents research on modern crop production methods in a comprehensive and easily understood manner. With chapters from expert researchers from internationally renowned institutes (primarily in India), the volume presents the latest information from the literature at the international level to make it usable to many agroecological regions of the world. It will be a valuable resource for agronomists, breeders, plant physiologists, farmers, and students of agricultural sciences.
