Qualidade do corte mecanizado de cana-de-açúcar

Abstract

A mechanized harvest of sugar cane creates components of production, a quality of the industrial raw material and a longevity of the cane field. Considering the cane cycle as semipermanent, which implies a renewal at least every five or six years, it is necessary to evaluate the damage caused to the ratoon in mechanized harvesting. (CEQ) around Vicentina-Ms, analyzing indicators of damage to the racket. The experiment carried out in the commercial area. 53 points were collected in a uniform area. Before the entrance of the harvester in the area was evaluated the size of the sugarcane, and a quality of the basal cut by means of images obtained from each ratoon. The damages are from damage, peripheral damage, cracked and fragmented. The data is an individual control command with mobile range. The mechanism of cutting of the harvester in upright cane fields mainly affects the indicators of damage to the coffee trees, percentage of peripheral damages and cracks. The basal cutting process demonstrates instability for the percentages of cracked and fragmented indicators. There is a need for long-term monitoring to point out from variability tests, in order to assist without management and control of the operation.
