• Abstract

  In recent years, there has been considerable increase in the total production of sugarcane in the Brazil, reaching the end of this season the amount of 655 million tons, with a total production area of approximately 9 million hectares. However, this increase in production is due only to increased planted area and not by productivity gains for harvested area (ton.ha-1). The great challen...

  Technical and functional improvement of productivity monitor for sugarcane (SIMPROCANA) , AP.PIPE

• Abstract

  In the production process for obtaining sugarcane subproducts, the costs involved in the operational and agricultural activities represent a large proportion of the final costs. One way of reducing them is to implement new technologies in the agricultural mechanization using a combination of mechanics and electronics. Complementing this, the use of information technology combined with t...

  Development of a system for monitoring the cutting, loading and transport of sugarcane for fleet management, AP.PIPE

• Abstract

  Much of the research carried out in precision agriculture concentrates on the development of corrective dosers and evaluators of yield for grain crops such as wheat and soya, which are products cultivated in sub-tropical areas and predominantly in developed countries. Thus, in this project the cultivation of sugar cane was chosen because, in addition to being of great economic importanc...
