For this, a survey was designed and applied to a sample of 195 sugarcane producers who represent to the nine municipalities in which 74.0 % of sugarcane is grown in the in the Morelos state, Mexico. The survey data indicated that the main trouble for producers is the high cost of fertilizers, exacerbated mainly by the lack of soil analysis before fertilization, without examining nutrient availability and crop demand. The 72.5 % of producers use formulated fertilizers based on the variety and municipality, with infrequent use of organic fertilizers, beneficial microorganisms, crop residues, and green manures. The most commonly cultivated sugarcane varieties are CP 72-086, ITV 92-1424, and MY 55-14; and the producers identified in the CP 72-086, ITV 92-1424 varieties the presence of fungal diseases. In conclusion, to reduce chemical fertilization in the sugarcane crop, it is necessary to consider the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil, and apply agricultural practices with a crop rotation system, for the control of diseases and the use of varieties grown in the Morelos state, Mexico. |
