Abstract
When the price of paddy, the only staple crop of the njore delta, began to fall steeply in 1930, the Agricultural Research Station, Aduturai took up the trial of other crops than paddy in the wetlands from 1931 onwards so that the experience gained in growing them and the results obtained may be passed on in time to the mirasdars of the delta. Among the crops tried, sugarcane was one of the most important and it is proposed to give in this paper an idea of the methods adopted in growing this crop successfully on this station during the past six seasons. Neither the station staff nor the vast majority of the mirasdars of the delta had any previous experience of growing sugarcane in the paddy lands of this delta.
