Abstract

Kinyara Sugar Limited has executed commercial chemical ripening of sugarcane using Fusilade Forte between 1997 and 2005 and beneficial outcomes were recorded out of processing chemically ripened cane. The previous achievements have inspired KSL to re do aerial spraying of the chemical ripener and fertilizers (Diammonium phosphate, Triple Super phosphate, Urea 46% and Muriate of Potash (MOP) onto selected fields within the nucleus estate twice a year: to a maximum of 2000 hectares/annum. KSL will execute the proposed project in tandem with the established legal and institutional framework requirements.
