Moist Hot Air Treatment
A minimum of 10% of the total production of sugarcane is lost due to
pest and diseases every year. To control the virus disease, the factory
is having two units of Moist Hot Air Treatment Plant, which are able to
treat 2100 ton of cane seed material every year. The treated seed is
being used to raise foundation seed nurseries. This enhances production
of cane seed by 5% on an average by avoiding stunting and virus disease
like Red-rot.
