Both single and double row layouts are available, with dripline depths ranging from 15–25 cm. These configurations optimize system cost and support robust plant development.
Metzer’s RootGuard® drippers prevent root intrusion into the system—crucial for a long-cycle crop like sugarcane, where consistent flow and reliability are vital.
Yes. Metzer designs layouts with flexible lateral depth and dripper spacing based on soil conditions—from light to heavy soils—ensuring effective water distribution.
Sugarcane grows through germination (0–30 days), tillering (30–60), fast elongation (60–120), and sugar accumulation (150–180). Each stage has specific water and nutrient requirements.
Yes. Through precision fertigation, Metzer systems apply only what the crop needs, when it needs it—reducing losses from leaching and evaporation and improving nutrient uptake.
By delivering water and nutrients directly to the roots, Metzer’s SDI system minimizes evaporation and boosts sugar yield per liter of water, even on sloped or sandy terrain.
Sugarcane’s growth, especially during the fast elongation phase, depends on continuous moisture. Water stress can severely reduce internode length and overall biomass.
