Abstract
Sugarcane is cultivated under exceptional range of climatic conditions with different particular opportunities in Khuzestan, southwest of Iran. Hot and dry summer months followed by cool, wet and few days of frost in winter months are mainly concerned with growth and quality of sugarcane crop. Saline soil is drained and leached through freshwater before planting in August where the entire crop is irrigated up to the beginning of annual harvest in mid next October. Flat lands, availability of water sources, full mechanization and local support for sugar and by-products development in South-west of Iran are the major supporting factors of better sugar production. In order to maintain crop sustainability, applied researches are being conducted in different disciplines according to necessity of sugar industry annually. Research finding’s and exercises such as crop rotation and green cane harvesting have been resulted to increase irrigation and drainage efficiency, improvement in organic matter and its effect on soil properties and sugarcane nutrition.
