Discussion

Field experiment revealed SCU and NCU significantly enhanced sugarcane yield and nitrogen efficiency, indicating better agricultural practices.

SCU treatments resulted in a 12% and 10% increase in sugarcane yield compared to traditional urea in plant and ratoon crops, respectively.
The use of sulfur coated urea led to a 15% higher sugar yield than conventional urea, indicating its effectiveness.
SCU exhibited a 25% and 16% higher nitrogen agronomic efficiency in plant and ratoon crops compared to traditional urea.
These findings highlight the potential of SCU to boost sugarcane production while reducing environmental pollution.
