INSTRUMENTATION AND AUTOMATION IN THE SUGARCANE-ETHANOL CHAIN: SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR AGRICULTURAL MANAGEMENT

Inamasu, Ricardo Yassushi ; Neto, Ladislau Martin

Resumo:

Agriculture is a highly complex production system when one includes the production of a live system in a live medium, interacting with the environment and society. Capacity and technology are fundamental for the effective planning, management and operation of all the aspects of agriculture. The viability and sustainability of the chain depend on the efficiency of the entire system. Mechanization has been an essential tool in the process of expansion and large scale production. Due to the intrinsic characteristics of Brazil’s sugarcane cultivation, as well as the absence of importable solutions, the country’s sugarcane sector has made exceptional efforts to adapt and innovate its operations using planters and harvesters. Precision Agriculture – PA was considered a step forward and even a refinement of the conventional process. The first phase of PA focused on machines equipped with GPS – Global Positioning Systems, and productivity maps. The world today has advanced on the theme beyond the cultivation of grains, and the concept is also applicable to crops that display spatial variability. The objective of PA is to manage spatial variability and maximize economic return while minimizing the effects on the environment. Therefore, PA can be considered a management strategy that uses information technologies to compile data from multiple sources and support decisions about vegetal production.
