These operations are done in sugarcane just to provide mechanical support to the grown up cane plants to prevent lodging. By wrapping, the distribution of CO2 becomes easy and proper to all the plants throughout the field. The leaves are removed from the plants; the green leaves on the plants are wrapped together by taking all canes of one bundle. After wrapping, the clumps in adjacent rows are tied together (crosswise). When wrapping and typing is over in entire field these tied clumps are given further support to bamboo poles from outside (on 2 opposite sides) of their field. Tying should be done in August when cane reaches about 2 m height. Green leaves should not be tied up together while tying up the crop.
