The advancement of mechanized planting has been transforming sugarcane production in Brazil, offering greater efficiency, economy, and environmental care. According to Hudson Rezende, an agro-technician, the adoption of this technology provides agility, precision, and standardization of operations, in addition to reducing losses and the excessive use of inputs.

Brazil has established itself as a global benchmark in cogeneration of energy from renewable sources, following a global trend of decarbonization of the energy matrix. While coal still represents 61% of global cogeneration, according to the Global CHP Market Overview report (Dec/2024), the country is moving in the opposite direction: in 2021, 69.2% of national cogeneration came from biomass, such as sugarcane bagasse, black liquor, and wood shavings, as highlighted by Leonardo Nakamura, an engineer from the Cogeneration Energy Industry Association (Cogen).

Sugarcane, being a semi-perennial crop, goes through an average of five to six cuts during its productive cycle. Therefore, at the time of planting, it is fundamental to adopt a management approach that favors the formation of a complete and efficient root system, capable of sustaining the crop for several years with productivity and health.
