01

Make the fallow productive

A deliberate cover-crop cycle can protect exposed soil, add biomass and create a non-host period for selected pests.

02

Protect the next cane crop

Design residue and operations backward from planting.

  • Set the target biomass and termination stage.
  • Confirm nematode species and host status.
  • Account for residue and tillage.
  • Synchronize nitrogen release.
03

Local evidence matters

Use block comparisons and record operations, inputs, stand establishment and cane yield.
