Conclusion.
In the changing scenario of agriculture, labour availability poses a major threat, more so in sugarcane farming. The only possible way to sustain sugarcane farming is through mechanization as it is a labour, drudgery and energy intensive crop. For any tractor drawn implements, increased row spacing is a pre-requisite. Farmers have started realizing this crude reality and a considerable area is practiced under wider row spacing.
Wide row spaced cultivation has its own advantages over narrow spacing. It provides improved resilience against cane productivity, improves soil health and enhances cropping intensity due to the possibility of intercrop. However, the adoption of wide row spacing on a large scale is also questioned due to apprehensions of cane growers. In order to improve performance, measures are needed to develop mechanisms to accelerate the rate of acceptance and adoption of this viable technology.
