Mayabeque, Cuba__ The cane plantation with the wide base technique allows yields of more than 50 tons per hectare in the Agricultural Production Cooperative (CPA) Cuba Cambodia of the municipality of Jaruco, in Mayabeque.

Carlos Pupo Leyva, president of the organization, says that the novel method increases the cultivation of grass and allows obtaining more seeds or cuttings in a furrow, which provides more germination.

The request of the sugar sector management in the country is to use the strategy and produce 50 tons per hectare. Today, both directions are met, he said.

The CPA receives the support of mechanized forces of the Unit of Attention to Producers of the Boris Luis Santa Coloma sugar mill, to which it provides sugarcane.

The 82 members of the cooperative work on 906 hectares dedicated to cultivation. There is harmony because it reduces other actions that previously needed man and resources, for example, the constant combat against weeds.

With this year's sowing, both in the cold and spring campaigns, it aims to reach 60 tons for the harvest of the 2017-2018 period.
