Sugarcane is one of the pillars of the Brazilian agricultural economy. Productivity gains combined with an industrial activity developed for use in the sugar and ethanol production have led researchers to seek agroindustrial management strategies to reduce costs. This project proposes the application of diazotrophic bacteria as a biological input to fully or partially meet sugarcane's nutritional needs with regard to nitrogen.
For that purpose, it counts on Embrapa Agrobiology's experience ...

Precision farming and agricultural practices that take into consideration the protection of the environment have brought forward a number of research challenges. The scale of sampling and the precision required by such new agricultural practices are often higher than those required by traditional agriculture, increasing production costs. Methods and devices for on-the-go measurements are being developed to equip agricultural vehicles to support these practices. The proposed project was guided
