Abstract

Burning biomass on sugarcane plantations can lead to pollution (CO₂ emissions) and degradation in soil properties. Adopting non-burning technology can increase the value of biomass by applying it directly to the soil, although this may result in nutrient immobilization, which can hinder optimal plant growth due to high lignin and cellulose content or high CN ratio. On the contrary, composting waste with a decomposer will boost plant nutrient availability and enhance other soil characteristics. This research was aimed to assess the effect of several types of sugarcane organic matter on improving soil characteristics, growth of sugarcane and the CO₂ emissions. The study was conducted using a Completely Randomized Factorial Design with two factors: type of organic matter (control, fresh litter and compost of sugarcane biomass) and level of drought stress (100, 75, 50 and 25%). Incubation occurred over 16 weeks, divided into two phases of 8 weeks each. The results showed that the application of organic materials in the form of compost could reduce water loss caused by environmental heat and sugarcane growing process. Furthermore, compost application improved soil chemical and biological properties by increasing soil pH, total nitrogen (N), total phosphate (P), total potassium (K), and the total microbial population, although differences were not significant compared to the control. Additionally, applying organic matter in the form of compost or litter helped suppress or reduce emissions, with compost treatment proving more effective than litter in reducing CO₂ emissions.

Abstract

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is a vital plantation crop, serving as a raw material for various industries, including sugar, bioethanol, amino acids, and food ingredients. Therefore, the advancement of technologies aimed at increasing productivity and fertilization efficiency in sugarcane cultivation has become a priority. Bio-silicic acid (BioSilAc) is a technology that can optimize the cultivation process. This study evaluated the effectiveness of water and fertilizer usage in plant cane (PC) and ratoon cane (RC) during low rainfall by applying BioSilAc and its impact on sugarcane productivity. This research utilized a randomized block design with three treatments (P1: 100% NPK; P2: 100% NPK + BioSilAc; and P3: 75% NPK + BioSilAc) replicated three times. Observed variables included soil and leaf nutrient levels, sugarcane growth, and productivity. Daily and potential water consumption was measured in real-time using a sap flow meter to calculate water use efficiency for P1 (control) and P2, representing the BioSilAc application. The P3 treatment (75% NPK + BioSilAc) demonstrated the highest effectiveness in terms of fertilization efficiency and productivity, resulting in notable increases in crop yield and crystal sugar. The PC category saw increases of 13.5% and 12.4%, while the RC category experienced gains of 22.82% and 25.81%, respectively. Furthermore, water use efficiency was recorded at 22.55% for the PC category and 13.72% for the RC category. Our findings suggest that the application of BioSilAc not only increase the productivity of sugarcane but also improves both fertilizer and water use efficiency.
