Harvesting:
Sugarcane should be harvested only when it is mature. Practical tests to judge maturity are
general yellowish color of whole crop
cessation of growth
swelling of eye buds
metallic sound of cane
breaking of cane at the nodes
Brix saccharometer reading between 21 and 24.
Harvesting should be done with a sharp cane cutting knife and close to ground.
