Multiobjective optimization of economic balances of sugarcane harvest biomass

Abstract: The fact that Brazil is the world's largest sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) producer, leads to a great concern about the cropping systems used, since the most common practice involves manual harvesting prior to straw burning. Brazilian authorities approved a law prohibiting the burning practice of crop residues prior to harvest. However mechanized harvest creates the new problem of how to deal with the residues. Many studies have proposed the use of these residues as an energy source. The major difficulty in its us… Show more

“…The 2008/2009 crop estimates are 571 million tons of sugarcane, 26.6 billion liters of ethanol, and 32.1 million tons of sugar. São Paulo state is the main producer of sugarcane and its by-products in Brazil, accounting for more than 60% of all the sugar and alcohol production and 70% of the Brazilian exports of these products (Florentino et al, 2008;FNP, 2008;CONAB, 2009). …”

“…Among the sugarcane's production and quality factors, the choice of the variety to be planted constitutes the most important decision since it provides the basis of the other technologies of production and processing of raw materials, thus providing significant increases in industrial productivity without an increase in production costs [12]. The varieties should display desirable features such as high yield, high sugar content, capacity to reshoot, no tendency to fall, and resistance to pests and diseases.…”
