Planting sections of the stem propagates sugar cane plants. In planting cane fields, mature cane stalks are cut into sections and laid horizontally in furrows. Usually only one node on a stem piece develops a new plant because of polarity along the stem piece. When laying them horizontally and covering with soil a new stem plant stem sections grows from the bud, and roots grow from the base of the new stem. The stem branches below ground so several may rise as a clump from the growth of the bud at a node.Sunday, October 19, 2008
