Abstract
Sugarcane is grown by small, medium, and large rural farmers in several countries around the globe. In addition, the primary objective is to increase cane yield, sugar recovery and sustainably improve the livelihoods of cane farmers. For producing a large amount of biomass and sugarcane, crop extracts a large amount of nutrients from the soil and accumulate in the plant. The regular harvesting of natural resources consequently from the soil mitigates a high amount of nutrients. Therefore, there is always a need to replace these nutrients with other sources of fertilization. Soil textural properties and fertility status under changing climatic conditions also play an important role. Several alternatives can be utilized to increase the sustainable nutrient use efficiency of both macro and micronutrients to make a balance for the profitability of the crop. Two of these natural alternatives are the use of green and organic manure, i.e., press mud and farmyard manure. This chapter aims to develop an integrated nutrient management approach for the global cane farmers that would improve the quality and productivity of the canes and improve water, nutrients, and pesticide use efficiencies.
