Sugarcane Leaf remover .
Mini tractor PTO operated
Tractor power operated sugarcane detrasher was developed for removal of green top as well as dry trash from the harvested sugarcane stalks. It consisted of mechanisms for cane feeding, detrashing and delivery. It separates the top from the cane by breaking it from the natural weak point at the joint of immature top with mature cane stalks. It can be transported on three point linkage of the tractor and operated by an electric motor, diesel engine or tractor PTO. Performance of the equipment was evaluated by feeding different varieties of harvested canes, with their tops first, to the detrashing rollers through the feeding chute. The trash left on the cane after passing through the detrasher varied from 1.5 to 6.6 %. Trash removal efficiency varied from 77.5 to 94.5 % depending upon the variety. The output of the detrasher was 2.4 t/h. There was a saving of about 17 % in cost of operation and 84 % in labor requirement using the detrasher as compared to manual method, using detrasher in cane field had increase cane output by 40%, ensure regular detrashing every 3 month on your field.

Rafi's sugarcane Yeild expert advise
To achieve higher yield in sugarcane fields, you’ll need to combine best practices in agronomy with modern tech and expert strategies. Here’s a quick guide broken down into key areas — this is what sugarcane field experts typically recommend:
1. Choose the Right Variety
Select high-yielding, disease-resistant varieties suited to your region (like Co-86032, Co-0238, or newer hybrids).
Rotate varieties every few years to avoid pest/disease buildup.
2. Land Preparation
Deep ploughing (up to 30 cm) helps root penetration.
Ensure proper drainage and levelled land (laser levelling works great).
Apply FYM/organic manure to improve soil structure.
3. Planting Method
Trench planting (90–150 cm row spacing) is recommended for better root growth and aeration.
Use 3-budded setts from healthy, disease-free seed cane.
Consider bud chip technology or sett treatment to improve germination.
4. Irrigation
Sugarcane is a heavy water user — switch to drip irrigation for best results (saves 40–50% water and increases yield by 20–25%).
Ensure timely irrigation especially at tillering, elongation and grand growth stages.
5. Fertilizer & Soil Health
Test soil before each season.
Apply balanced NPK + micronutrients (Zn, Fe, Mn).
Split application of nitrogen (3–4 splits) boosts uptake and yield.
Add biofertilizers like Azospirillum or Phosphobacteria.
6. Pest & Disease Control
Use integrated pest management (IPM): trap crops, pheromone traps, neem oil sprays.
Monitor and control:
Early shoot borer
Top borer
White grub
Red rot
Avoid ratoon cropping in fields affected by red rot.
7. Ratoon Management
Remove dry trash. Using ARB Attachment
Apply ratoon-specific fertilizer dose.
Use a ratoon manager implement to break compaction and promote sprouting.
8. Harvesting
Harvest at the right maturity (10–12 months) for tropical areas.
Brix level should be 18–20% for optimum sugar recovery.
9. Mechanization
Use sugarcane planters, harvesters, trash shredders.
Mechanized harvesting saves labor cost and speeds up operations.
