Sugarcane (Saccharum Officinarum)

Sugarcane, scientifically known as Saccharum Officinarum, is a tall perennial grass that belongs to the Poaceae family. It is a popular crop that is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, primarily for its sweet juice, which is used to produce sugar, molasses, and ethanol.

Sugarcane plants can grow up to 6 meters in height, but the average height ranges from 100cm to 1.2m. The plant has a thick, fibrous stalk that is composed of multiple segments, which are filled with sweet juice. The leaves of the sugarcane plant are long and narrow, with a bluish-green color.
