Answer:
Conditions for production of sugarcane:
1. It is a tropical plant and requires hot and humid climate with average temperature of 21°-27°C.
2. It grows best on fertile, well-drained soils.
3. The soil should be rich in nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus.
4. Frost is detrimental to sugarcane. So, if it is grown in a region with very cold winter, it must be harvested before the frost season.
5. Heavy rainfall leads to low sugar content. 75-150 cm rainfall and bright sunshine after the rain is favourable. If the area receives scanty rainfall, proper irrigation is necessary.
