Short answer
For a good start to the ratoon crop, clean the stubble, fill gaps and plan irrigation and fertilizer right after harvest.
Key steps after harvest
- Stubble: cut evenly at ground level so the new shoots come up evenly.
- Trash / leaves: spread them evenly across the field; this can help retain moisture.
- Gaps: fill the empty spots so the plant population is maintained.
- Irrigation: irrigate on time after harvest.
- Nutrition: plan fertilizer according to the soil and crop condition.
