Abstract

Fertilizer trials were carried out at Ea Sar commune, Ea Kar district, Dak Lak province and Kong Yang commune, Kong Chro district, Gia Lai province in order to find out the type, amount and number of applications of fertilizer that would be suitable for sugarcane on sloping land. The trials were arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five treatments, three replications and 50 m2 per lot. All parameters of the trials were evaluated through 2 crops of the plant cane and the first ratoon cane, from January 2020 to January 2022. The trial results showed that in sloping soil conditions, applying controlled release NPK fertilizer (18-8-22) with NPK content equal to 70% of the control gave the cane yield of 80.6 - 92.7 tons/ha. The sugar content was 11.84 - 11.95 CCS (commercial cane sugar) and the cane yield equivalent to 10 CCS was 96.0 - 110.8 tons/ha with about 16.30 - 30.86% higher than that of the control. The profit increased from 3,416 to 12,351 thousand VND/ha compared to the control.
