Hargaon, Sitapur: The crushing season at Avadh Sugar Mill, Hargaon has successfully concluded after operating for 151 days. The mill crushed more than 1 crore 90 lakh 53 thousand quintals of sugarcane during the 2025–26 season.
According to Executive Vice President (Cane) Sharad Singh, the crushing season began on 28 October 2025 and ended on Saturday. Despite operating 13 days fewer than last year, the mill managed to crush 17 lakh quintals more sugarcane compared to the previous season, maintaining a steady daily crushing average.
Executive Chairman Arvind Dixit congratulated the officers and employees for the successful completion of the season. He said the smooth functioning of the mill was made possible due to the coordinated efforts of various departments, including cane, engineering, and manufacturing.
Several officials and staff members were present on the occasion, including Executive Vice President Pramod Kumar, Anil Sharma, General Manager (Cane) Sanjeev Rana, along with Manoj Nirwal, Vinod Sharma, Birbal Pal, and Nitesh Agarwal.
Farmers Advised to Plant Improved Cane Varieties
Sharad Singh also urged farmers to focus on sowing improved varieties of sugarcane, as the current period is ideal for planting. He advised farmers to avoid rejected or duplicate varieties, including 5009, 9709, 91269, 84212, 119, and 160, and to contact their cane supervisors for guidance if they face any difficulties.
For better crop yields, farmers were advised to use Super or NP fertilizers instead of DAP, ensure timely irrigation and fertilizer application in ratoon crops, and complete major field operations before June, after which only earthing-up and tying work remain. Proper crop management, he said, would help achieve higher cane production in the next season.
