Does sugarcane grow in salt water?

No, sugarcane does not grow in salt water. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soils with adequate moisture and prefers environments with low salinity. High salt concentrations can hinder its growth, leading to reduced yields and poor plant health. However, some research is being conducted on salt-tolerant varieties, but they are not commonly used in commercial sugarcane production.
