Uso eficiente de fertilizantes en caña de azúcar para manejo sostenible de tierras.

Abstract

The agricultural development of sustainable bases to obtain stable productions economically viable and socially acceptable, in harmony with the environment, imposes the precise knowledge of the nutritional needs of sugarcane. The scientific and technical development achieved in research regarding the use and management of mineral nutrients allowed to implement the Amendments and Fertilizer Recommendations Service. The objectives and fundamental elements of this service are presented, which determines the levels of soil fertility and provides to producing units-recommendations to be implemented at level of minimal unit management (cane fields), as well as the main activities, from soil sampling to checking the proposed doses, through control lots and the major impacts related with inputs saving, additional gain by increasing yields and lands’ sustainable management cultivated with sugarcane.
