Summary: Simulation models use based on biomass production data is a tool that has helped technicians, producers and governments in fast decision-making processes. This study type has evolved along with geographic information systems, enabling geo processing techniques application, allowing crops productive potential areas delimitation in a quick manner and with reliable results. Suitable areas predetermination allows cost, time and risk reduction with Tanzania guinea grass pastures formation. This research was conducted in order to carry out a simulation to determine suitable areas for Tanzania guinea grass cultivation under rainfed conditions, using forage production data in a Brazilian semiarid environment.
