Sugarcane

Sugarcane scientifically called Saccharum officinarum, Poaceae of the family perennial grass , primarily cultivated for its juice from which sugar is processed.It is an established source of sugar and is the current benchmark first-generation feedstock for efficient biofuel production.It is cultivated in the tropics primarily for its high sugar content.Sugarcane cultivation requires a tropical or subtropical climate, with a minimum of 60 cm of annual moisture. It is one of the most efficient photosyntesizers in the plant kingdom.Sugarcane can be grown on many soils ranging from highly fertile both plentiful sunshine and water supplies increase cane production. Sugarcane is harvested by hand which accounts for more than half of production, and is dominant in the developing world. In this type of hand harvesting, the field is first set on fire. The fire burns dry leaves, and chases away or kills venomous snakes, without harming the stalks and roots.
