Question
Ratoon cropping is gaining popularity among sugarcane cultivators.
Solution
This practice is widely used in the cultivation of crops such as rice, sugarcane, banana, and pineapple. Ratoon crops cannot be perennially renewed, and may be harvested only for a few seasons, as a decline in yield tends to occur due to increased crowding, damage by pests and diseases, and a decline in soil fertility.
