Interpretive Summary
This field experiment, initiated in 2013, continued to examine the effects of different rates and timing of controlled-release urea (CRU) on yield and economical returns of ratooned sugarcane in Wuming county of Guangxi.
Guangxi, the largest sugarcane-growing province in China, accounts for about 70% of the sugarcane production in the country. Sugarcane is a tropical and subtropical perennial crop with a long growing season of about 8 to 10 months. A high yielding crop of 50 to 60 t cane/ha requires a large quantity of fertilizer with multiple applications, especially for N.
