We are not only a standard executor but also a standard-maker.

ZOOMLION has built up a sugarcane production mechanization production R&D team mainly for the planning and design of the sugarcane production process, the integrated design and production of system equipment, and the management and training of sugarcane production process. In addition, we have integrated advantageous resources in R&D, manufacturing and service of agricultural machinery as well as sugarcane planting by working together with the strategic partners. Our sugarcane-related products include tractor-driven soil-working machine, sugarcane planter, furrowing-fertilizing machine, inter-row cultivating-fertilizing-hilling machine, irrigation machine, sugarcane harvester, sugarcane field collecting and transportation machine, and sugarcane leaf baler, all of which are in the leading position in China, and some of which even keep in pace with international counterparts. Therefore, ZOOMLION can provide the sugarcane industry with more cost-effective sugarcane harvesters and whole-process supporting machinery, with an aim to realize the modern and systematic management of sugarcane production.

Tilling process:
First use heavy-duty harrow to weed the wasteland, simply level the ground, and pick up rocks and tree roots in the fields;
Use hydraulic Turnover plow to deep turn the land and provide a good soil environment for sugarcane seeding, germination, growth and development;
After the wasteland has been preliminarily tilled, subsoiling is generally required in 2-3 years.

Deep ploughing effect:
Deep ploughing can break the bottom of the plow to loosen the soil, improve soil fertility, improve soil physical and chemical properties, and increase the ability of soil moisture retention; make sugarcane germinate quickly, have more tillers, and have thick and strong seedlings.

Deep ploughing requirements:
The depth of ploughing must consider field conditions, depending on the depth of the original farming layer and soil properties. Sugarcane planting fields require 30-50 cm. Zoomlion can provide equipment for deep ploughing up to 50 cm.

Planting mode:
One-ridge double-row planting mode, that is, one-ridge two rows sugarcane planting; one-ridge two-row technology is a reform of the farming system, so that crops can give full play to the marginal effect, increase ground temperature, and significantly improve the utilization of light energy and water and fertilizer. Advanced cultivation technology. It has the functions of moisture preservation, fertilizer preservation, heat preservation, and obvious effects of increasing production and income. It is the main trend of sugarcane planting development in the future;
A planting machine can complete all the processes of soil collection, driving, fertilization, seeding, spraying, soil covering, vibrating pressure, film covering, etc., with high efficiency and labor saving.

Inter-tilling and ridging:
Sugarcane inter-tillage management is an important part of sugarcane production. It is of great significance to promote sugarcane tillering and root growth, enhance sugarcane drought resistance and lodging resistance, and increase yield.
Sugarcane inter-tillage management mainly includes operations such as breaking ridges or ditching, soil loosening, soil crushing, weeding, fertilization, and soil cultivation.
Inter-tillage can loosen the topsoil, increase soil aeration, increase ground temperature, promote aerobic microbial activity and nutrient efficiency, remove weeds, promote root extension, and adjust soil moisture.
The function of ridging is mainly to prevent lodging and facilitate drainage and irrigation. It also promotes the growth of tubers and tubers for root and tuber feed crops.
The mechanization of sugarcane cultivating can effectively improve work efficiency and operation quality, and is an effective way to solve the shortage of labor in sugarcane management and save costs and increase efficiency.

Irrigation:
Sugarcane is one of the most water-demanding crops and water availability is the single largest factors affecting its yield. As water is the basis of physiological activities, the normal and vigorous physiological and biochemical processes, the fast growth and the high yield of the sugarcane are all dependent upon an appropriate water availability.
As a low water availability in the sugarcane field will restrict the growth and yield of sugarcane, irrigation is very important for a higher yield. According to experiments and production experience, a reasonable irrigation has a significant effect on yield increase, which becomes more obvious in drought years.
Sugarcane has essentially four-growth phases: germination phase, tillering (formative) phase, grand growth phase and maturity & ripening phase, and the water demand of each phase is the basis to determine the irrigation time and irrigation volume.

The core products of the full-range mechanization of sugarcane production:
In the past ten years, Zoomlion has been committed to promoting the full-range mechanization of sugarcane production and tackling key technologies for sugarcane harvesters. After continuous accumulation and innovation, it Has become China‘s sugarcane production full-range mechanization solution service provider with the most complete harvester product line .

Transporting mode:
Since our company has two types of sugarcane harvesters, conveyor type and hopper type, different field transfer vehicles are required for those two harvesters.
For the conveyor type sugarcane harvester, a large field trailer is required.
For the hopper-type sugarcane harvester, a small field transfer loader is required.

The necessity of sugarcane leaf bundling:
After using the sugarcane harvester, the sugarcane leaves are left in the field.
After the sugarcane leaves are collecting around ridge, the sugarcane leaves can be bundled with our tractor and baler.
The bundled sugarcane leaves are transported away, and can be used as fodder to feed cattle and fish, or they can be used as fuel after drying.
