Abstract

The aim of this work is analysis, organization, processing of climatic data and productivity of sugarcane for the development and analysis of a mathematical model for the estimate of crop yield. The proposed activities are surveying the characteristics of the data involved, analysis and tests with new parameters and the application of the model in contrast to actual data collection in other locations such as Brazil, Colombia and Mozambique.
