Abstract

Sugarcane is one of the most important Brazilian agricultural crops as source of food, fuel and feedstock. The physiological knowledge on water consumption can lead to increased productivity, besides providing sugarcane cultivation in areas where irrigation is essential. This project aims to investigate the effects of sugarcane trash blanket on water relations of Brazilian and Australian farming system, with the support of experimental data and APSIM-Sugar crop model. Options for water saving and better irrigation strategies will be evaluated for regions where data were collected as well as for other places where sugarcane usually grows under irrigation. (AU)
