The spatio-temporal variation of evapotranspiration (ET) is the key to improve the water management over irrigated agricultural areas. Many remote sensing methods have been developed for mapping ET, among them, the most widely used is the Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL). However, SEBAL was developed for particular satellite sensors and images resolutions, in which functi…
The culture of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) stands out for its high oil yield, the most consumed in the world and as a promising option for the biofuels and food production in Brazil. However, due to the uneven distribution of rainfall in some regions of Brazil, oil palm crop currently has only limited in the North. Thereby, it becomes required the use of irrigation technique to com…
The searching fossil fuels alternatives is considered a reality, making it essential to increase research in agricultural crops for biofuel production. In this context, the culture of jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) has been outstanding, leading several research institutions to study this little known native plant, as with regard to its development as to its production. An important paramet…

The oil palm crop (Elaeis quineensis Jacq.) stands out by its elevated oil productivity, being the most consumed in the world, ahead of the soybean oil. The oil of the oil palm became the industrial-oleaginous product of higher marketing potential when compared to the yield obtained by other oleaginous crops. Considering this scenario, and the potential of economic growth of this crop, it…
Nowadays the world is changing its energy patter, starting to use cleaner and renewable sources of energy. Considering the eminent scenery of water scarcity, despite the necessity of produce cleaner energy, it is also necessary to rationalize the water utilization and, thereby is important to study crops water consumption. So, this project has as objectives to calibrate and use measures o…

Understanding the spatio-temporal variation of rainfall is important to help the water management. In this context, the rainfall retrieval algorithm (RRA) from microwave links in commercial cellular communication networks hold a promise for areal rainfall monitoring and may complement rainfall estimates and mapping from ground-based weather radars, rain gauges, and satellites. However, th…
The knowledge of the water demand of a culture is essential for planning of new areas, as well as for the economic viability analysis of a culture in a specific region. The use of crops for alternative feedstock sources has been extensively studied in the last years. Among many, jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) has been highlighted for biodiesel production in the national and global scenario…
