Which process limits sugarcane growth with depleted soils?

💡 Explanation

Sugarcane depends on symbiotic bacteria for nitrogen acquisition; impaired nitrogen fixation decreases available nitrogen, limiting biomass accumulation and stalk development because nitrogen enhances chlorophyll content, therefore productivity declines rather than improving with other mechanisms alone.
