Abstract

Methods of producing sugar cane transplant units that includes planting sugar cane propagation materials in a non-segregated planting medium to produce a sugar cane where the planting of the sugar cane propagation materials results in an emerged plant density of 25 to 200 plants per square meter; growing the sugar plant to an age of at least 4 months; harvesting the stalks of the sugar cane plant when the stalks have a length of 10 to 100 centimeters; cutting the harvested stalks into stalk segments, wherein the stalk segments are cut to a length of 1 to 5 centimeters; and planting one or more of the stalk segments into a planting container that has a volume from 10 to 200 cubic centimeters.
