Brazil is a major sugarcane producer and its production more than doubled over the last
decades to meet global bioenergy demands for reducing crude oil dependency and …

Large‐scale bioenergy demand has triggered new approaches to straw management in
Brazilian sugarcane fields. With the progressive shift from a burned to a nonburned harvest …

Increasing demand for biofuel has intensified land-use change (LUC) for sugarcane
(Saccharum officinarum) expansion in Brazil. Assessments of soil quality (SQ) response to …

Globally, the rate of land-use change (LUC) is increasing rapidly to support biofuel feedstock
production. In Brazil, sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) expansion to produce ethanol is …

The mechanized sugarcane harvesting using larger and heavier machines has accentuated
soil compaction. The aim of this study was to quantify the impact of harvesting controlled …

Crop residues have an essential role in sustaining soil functions and the removal of
sugarcane straw for bioenergy production can exacerbate the adverse impacts of …

Brazil is the largest sugarcane producer in the world playing a pivotal role on global ethanol
production. The sugarcane yield levels across the producing regions of the country vary …

This study presents a literature review of the main advances that took place in the last 10
years in the agricultural production of sugarcane in Brazil, which can effectively result in …

Soil tillage operations had been carried out during the sugarcane planting to improve soil's
physical quality, thus providing proper conditions for sugarcane growth. Long-term field …
