Abstract
Globally, sugarcane is cultivated, ranging from warm temperate regions to the humid tropics. The judicious uses of fertilizers are advocated for proper nourishment of canes, which varied following the global divergent inherent fertility status, soil texturally class, and different agro-climatic conditions. Inherent soil fertility status and application of different nutrients through fertilizers, both affect the cane productivity to a significant extent. Therefore, the sugarcane yields get affected not only by deficiencies but even by an excess of macro but micronutrients; as excess amounts promote lodging, insect-pest attack, and environment complication, while the lesser amounts adversely affect cane yields. However, their interactions further complicated the role of a single nutrient. Present compilation/chapter considers the global fertilization trends in sugarcane using existed data to delineate the importance of proper fertilization on cane quantity and quality. Further, the use of organic amendments viz. farmyard manures and microorganisms viz. azotobacter needs to be counted. More than ever before, there is a need for knowing the inherent fertility of soils, soil textural class, agro-climatic conditions, preferred sugarcane cultivars, etc. for finalizing fertilizer doses as under and above fertilization leads to poor recovery. Hence, balanced and integrated nutrient fertilization is a must-win global technology for improving both qualities as well as the quantity of the so produced sugarcanes, which further improved the profits of the cane farmers.
