Natural farming is a necessity to maintain soil health and yield of sugarcane For sugarcane production, the field is deeply plowed two to three times, due to which a hard layer (hard pan) is formed on the lower surface of the field, which affects the air circulation, activity of microorganisms, etc. in the soil. In such a situation, if natural ingredients are used for sugarcane production, then the health of the soil will be maintained and the farmer brothers will continue to get bountiful yield. Natural farming is a necessity to maintain soil health and yield of sugarcane गन्ने की फसल में किसानों द्वारा अंधाधुन रसायनिक उर्वरक का इस्तेमाल किया जाता है जिससे मिट्टी की संरचना खराब होती है तथा धीरे-धीरे मिट्टी बंजर होने लगती है। गन्ना उत्पादन के लिए खेत की दो से तीन बार गहरी जुताई की जाती है जिससे खेत की निचली सतह पर कठोर परत (हार्ड पैन) बन जाता है जो कि मिट्टी में हवा संचरण, सूक्ष्मजीवों की क्रियाशीलता इत्यादि को प्रभावित करता है। ऐसी परिस्थिति में यदि गन्ना उत्पादन के लिए प्राकृतिक अवयव का प्रयोग करते हैं तो मिट्टी का स्वास्थ्य बना रहेगा और किसान भाइयों को भरपूर उपज मिलता रहेगा। पारंपरिक जैविक खादों की कमी के संदर्भ में मृदा संरक्षण और स्वास्थ्य पर बढ़ती चिंता के साथ, फसल...

गन्नेे (ईख) के उत्पाद तथा उनके अनेक उपयोग Sugarcane is the second important industrial crop in India occupying an area of about 5 m.ha and over five million farmers are involved in the cultivation of sugarcane. Sugar industry contributes significantly to the rural economy as the sugar mills are located in the rural areas and provide large scale employment to rural population.  India is the largest consumer and the second largest producer of sugar. The sugarcane plant offers a huge potential, not only as the sucrose of a very important food but also as a source of energy and valuable commercial products from fermentation and chemical synthesis. Sugarcane is considered as one of the best converters of solar energy into biomass and sugar. Sugarcane is a rich source of food (sucrose, jaggery and syrups), fiber (cellulose), fodder (green top, bagasse, molasses) fuel and chemicals (bagasse molasses and alcohol). During the process of sugar production, the main by-products of cane sugar industry are bagasse, molasses and pressmud. The other co-products and by-products of less commercial value are green leaves, green tops, trash, boiler ash and effluents generated by sugar industry and distillery. There are many other industries which are based on sugarcane by diversification and utilization of co-products and by- products of the sugar industry,...
