The use of superior varieties must involve cultivation aspects. The use of superior varieties supported by good cultivation techniques will provide higher sugarcane yields and productivity compared to conventional cultivation systems. Problems in sugarcane cultivation by farmers were identified and then those are used for assembling the suitable cultivation technology. The acceleration activity was carried out in Sukobendu village, Mantup District, Lamongan Regency, in January - December 2015 using an area of around 10 ha. The 10 ha land consists of 9 ha of farmer’s land, with providing qualified sugar cane seeds, while 1 ha is used for Field Laboratory media. In field laboratory plot, cultivation technique applied consted of budchip seeds, introduction of double planting systems, addition of organic fertilizers, optimal plant maintenance and proper leaf detrashing. The use of bud chip seeds resulted in a highest sugarcane production and farmers’ income. Implementation of integrated sugarcane cultivation technology in field laboratory could be an inspiration for the farmers to adopt the cultivation technology. These include unloading ratoon, the use of early mature and drought resistant varieties, bud chip seeds, double planting system, addition of organic fertilizer, and an optimal plant maintenance.
