Method for Cultivating Sugar Cane

A method for cultivating sugar cane, which method comprises

• planting a shoot of a sugar cane plant in a growth medium;
• optionally treating the shoot or the growth medium before, during or shortly after planting with at least one fertilizer, at least one fungicide, at least one insecticide, at least one nematicide, at least one growth regulator, at least one superabsorber, or growth-promoting bacteria;
• growing a seedling from the shoot at a temperature of at least 15° C.;
• treating the seedling, while growing, with at least one strobilurin fungicide, at least one carboxamide fungicide, at least one GABA antagonist insecticide, at least one nicotinic receptor agonists/antagonist insecticide, or at least one chloride channel activator insecticide and optionally also with at least one fungicide different therefrom, at least one insecticide different therefrom, at least one nematicide, at least one growth regulator, at least one rooting enabler, or growth-promoting bacteria;
• 10 to 120 days after planting the shoots in the growth medium, if the growth medium is not a field, planting the seedling obtained from the shoots to the field, where the field has optionally been treated with at least one fertilizer, at least one fungicide, at least one insecticide, at least one nematicide, at least one growth regulator, at least one superabsorber, or growth-promoting bacteria before or during planting, or, in case the growth medium is a field, exposing the seedlings obtained from the shoots to ambient conditions;
• and
• optionally treating the seedlings or the field during or after planting in the field or after exposing to ambient conditions with least one fungicide, at least one insecticide, at least one nematicide, at least one growth regulator, at least one superabsorber, or at least one freshness-preservation polymer.
