Sugarcane Desication How?

[EdyP]

Could someone please advise me on how to kill the sugarcane roots, for a following crop of cassava, I saw a cassava field a few days ago, there was as much sugar cane as there was cassava. from the information i have interpreted the cane field should be ploughed thus desturbing the root system. , then leave for 2 weeks before ploughing again or planting of following crop the dry soil and heat stopping regrowth . Currently the plough is only scratching the surface and one needs deep ploughing for cassava so i have to wait for rain, which may allow the cane to regrow after ploughing. Any experience , Thoughts or Advice would be Greatly appreciated ! ed

Glyphosate will get it, as it's known by it's technical name in Thailand

Roundup in the outside world, by it's original brand name.

You need green leaf to absorb the chemical spray.

That may be a problem now in dry hot March.

Spray in the early morning when dew is on the leaf.

It takes about four days for its effect to be fully known.

For so many people trying to get Sugar to grow,

this is the first problem I've heard of needing to kill it.

This tells me that the plowing method probably works suitably.

But it's a grass like any other, Roundup will knock it out first round.

A heavy disk plow will break even the dry surface

enough to make life miserable for the dry sugar

With the surface broken,

and the remaining roots below damaged, they will die.

If you then plow deeply again when rains return, you'll get the survivors.
