“…In Although no-tillage has shown lower productivity, the use of this system can be advantageous from an economic point of view, as there is a reduction in energy expenditure in soil preparation and thus it becomes a viable alternative to sugarcane cultivation, as it presents stalk productivity similar to other soil preparations [49]. The costs involved in the soil preparation process can also impact the decision of which model to use (Souza et al) [50], such as fuel consumption, which is one of the main costs involved, where Martins et al [51], studying the fuel consumption between two soil preparation systems for planting sugarcane, found that in conventional soil preparation there is the highest fuel consumption due to the greater number of implements needed for the activity.…”

The quality of sugarcane broth can be affected by soil management. In compacted soils the productivity is reduced, and the raw material is poor. This research aimed to evaluate productivity and quality of sugarcane for four soil management types: (CT) heavy harrow + light harrow; (CTI) Subsoiler + light harrow; (MT) Subsoiler and (NT) no soil movement. The variables investigated were resistance to soil penetration (SPR), the chemical raw material quality (broth) and crop yield. In crop rows, SPR did not reach severe levels up to 0.3 m for sugarcane root development. However, below this layer, MT, NT, and CTI reached SPR limiting values of 2.50, 2.35 and 1.95 MPa, respectively. In inter-crop rows, compaction was concentrated in soil surface layers (0–0.3 m). In addition, all adopted managements presented SPR above the critical value (2 MPa). The soil preparation forms qualitatively affected the sugarcane broth, showing higher fiber and protein contents in NT, MT, and CT. The PS, Brix, TRS, and Pol were not affected by soil management. Still, higher absolute values were found in the NT, indicating an increase in broth quality when applying conservation management. The highest yields were obtained by reduced tillage (MT), surpassing the lowest yield management (NT) with an increase of 10.5 Mg ha−1.

“…According to Martins et al (2021), the revolved soil volume and fuel consumption during soil tillage are directly related to the set operational speed. However, Pequeno et al (2012), when analyzing the performance of light harrowing with cutout discs, found that the speed increase reduced the grid's acting depth, creating the effect called fluctuation.…”

Operational speed influences the soil preparation quality, the first established according to the working set performance and its traction capacity. The experiment's objective is to determine the influence of working speed on energy and operational performance of an agricultural tractor with Full-Powershift transmission when performing a harrowing operation. We conducted the experiment using lines, in a randomized block design. It had four operational soil preparation speeds, with seven repetitions, totaling 28 experimental units. We measured the following parameters per worked area: slipping, engine rotation, specific and per hour fuel consumption, strength, power, and yield on the drawbar and operating speed. Additionally, we analyzed soil profilometry parameters concerning the mobilized area and working thickness. We also evaluated the variance of the collected data and, when significant, submitted it to a regression test. The data showed that higher operating speeds result in greater operational performance and reduction of the energy demand of the mechanized set under study. In addition, this increase doesn't have a beneficial effect on grid fluctuation, not affecting the quality of soil preparation.

“…Soil physical attributes typically change during the sugarcane cultivation period, and these changes may impact crop development and yield (Cherubin et al, 2017). The cost of preparing the soil for sugarcane field implantation is equivalent to approximately one‐fourth of the crop yield (Martins et al, 2021). Hence, the choice of soil preparation systems has a substantial impact on sugarcane yield, longevity and maximum economic return (Blanco‐Canqui et al, 2017).…”

“…The total area to be planted is typically subjected to conventional soil preparation (ploughing and harrowing) and scarification to improve root development and crop yield (de Campos, Rossato, et al, 2022). However, in the long term, this preparation accentuates soil degradation, changes soil attributes, causes erosion and compaction, alters water flow and increases CO 2 emissions and production costs because of the greater energy input required for full‐area scarification (Filho et al, 2017; Marasca et al, 2015; Martins et al, 2021; Tim Chamen et al, 2015).…”

Combining deep tillage (DT) with lime application at greater depths may improve sugarcane yield. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of conventional tillage (CT) and DT systems and liming on sugarcane productivity and soil physical attributes. The experiment was conducted in a clayey‐textured Rhodic Hapludox soil cultivated with sugarcane for two growing seasons (first and third ratoons) using a randomized block design with four treatments and four repetitions. The treatments consisted of DT without liming (DT0), DT with liming (DT2), CT without liming (CT0) and CT with liming (CT2). In addition to sugarcane stalk and sugar yields, macroporosity (MA), microporosity (MI), total soil porosity (TP), weighted average diameter (WAD), aggregate stability index (ASI), soil penetration resistance (SPR), pH, potential acidity (H + Al), total soil organic carbon (SOC), particulate organic carbon (POC), mineral‐associated organic carbon (MOC), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) were analysed. DT2 promoted the best soil conservation effect on sugarcane. In general, DT, regardless of lime application, reduced SOC and POC in soil surface layer. Nevertheless, in the long term, localized lime addition resulted in significant reductions in compaction, reaching values below 2 MPa. The soil fertility improvement provided by DT2 promoted increased sucrose concentrations and stalks yield. Considering that there was an improvement in the physical quality and fertility of soil for better plant development, the deep tillage with localized lime addition can be considered an effective alternative for sugarcane cultivation.
