Abstract: In order to fully understand sugarcane production in Guangxi in 2013, the investigations combining with data collection and field survey were carried out in sugarcane production areas in Nanning, Hechi, Liuzhou, Chongzuo, Baise and Laibin from May 28 to June 36 in 2013. It was found that: the sugarcane plant area in Guangxi in 2013 had declined compared with that in 2012; the rate of emergence remained the same with last year, and as for the number of new planted sugarcane and ratoon sugarcane per hectare, there was a decline of 4000 and 2000 seedlings respectively compared with the figure in 2012; borer damage rate had reduced on the whole, while culmicolous smut of sugarcane had increased. Dued to the growth in the cost of planting, the planters were less enthusiastic for management. According to the findings, the fertilization, hilling and other filed management targeting sugarcane plantation should be accelerated; borer prevention work was also required, so as to reduce borer damage and dieback rate; the varieties of plant structure had to be adjusted and the cultivated area of the variety of ‘Guitang’ sugarcane ought to be enlarged, and meanwhile active measures needed to be taken to prevent and control the outburst of pest attack in local areas.
