IRRIGAÇÃO SUPLEMENTAR DA CANA-DE-AÇÚCAR (Saccharum spp) COLHIDA NO MÊS DE JANEIRO: UM MODELO DE ANÁLISE DE DECISÃO PARA O LITORAL SUL DO ESTADO DE ALAGOAS  Márcio Aurélio Lins dos Santos; José Antonio FrizzoneDepartamento de Engenharia Rural, Escola Superior de Agricultura “Luiz de Queiroz”, Universidade de São Paulo, Piracicaba, SP,  [email protected]   1 RESUMO As usinas de açúcar e álcool no estado de Alagoas tem grande importância econômica. Para usar sua capacidade instalada torna-se necessário o uso de técnicas que aumentem sua produtividade e diminuam os custos de produção da cana-de-açúcar. A tecnologia de irrigação se tornou uma alternativa rentável para as condições do estado de Alagoas. Tomando-se por base a viabilidade da tecnologia de irrigação suplementar em cana soca de janeiro, durante apenas o primeiro estádio de desenvolvimento da cana-de-açúcar do litoral sul de Alagoas, a árvore de decisão foi utilizada na avaliação dos valores esperados dos retornos associados a diferentes alternativas disponíveis para a escolha do tomador de decisão. Levando em consideração as condições analisadas, os resultados do estudo permitiram obter as seguintes conclusões: existe um grande potencial de viabilidade técnica e econômica para irrigação do início de ano (janeiro), considerando os benefícios diretos e indiretos de aumento de produtividade agrícola, maior longevidade das soqueiras, redução de preparo de solo e plantio, tratos culturais e transporte de cana; a receita líquida esperada apresenta pequena sensibilidade às variáveis de custos com tratos culturais de soqueiras e preparo de solo e plantio. UNITERMOS: irrigação suplementar; Cana-de-açúcar; Análise de decisão  SANTOS, M.

ADDITIONAL IRRIGATION OF A SUGAR-CANE (Saccharum spp) CROP HARVESTED IN JANUARY: A DECISION ANALYSIS MODEL FOR THE SOUTHERN COAST OFALAGOAS STATE  2 ABSTRACT Sugar mills and alcohol distilleries inAlagoas State,Brazil, have great economical importance. The use of techniques that increase their productivity and reduce sugar-cane production costs is needed to use their installation capacity to the fullest. Irrigation technology has become a profitable alternative for the sugar-cane (ratoon cycle) conditions inAlagoasState. A decision tree was used to evaluate expected values form different available alternatives to choose the best decision maker, taking into consideration the viability of additional irrigation technology in cane beat in January, just during the first development stage of the sugar-cane (ratoon cycle) in the southern coast of Alagoas State. From the obtained results of the analyzed conditions, it was concluded that: there is a great technical and economical viability for irrigation in the beginning of the year (January), considering direct and indirect benefits of agricultural productivity increase, greater ratoon longevity, reduction of soil preparation and planting, culture treatments and sugar cane transport; the expected net income presents small influence of cost variables with ratoon culture treatments and soil preparation and planting. KEYWORDS: additional irrigation; sugar-cane; decision analysis

The taxonomy of a complex of parasites associated with mealy-bugs on cacao in Trinidad is dealt with. The descriptions of nine species new to science are given and species not new have been treated in comparable detail. Fresh taxonomic or other data have been given for some related species.The inclusion of an aberrant Thysanid species of biological importance necessitated a comparative study of characters that have been used within this group. In this connection, Thysanid parasites of Tachinidae attacking moth larvae in sugar-cane were considered and found separable into three closely related species, two of which are described as new.

Agricultural planning, as a precept of environmental policy, is an instrument of great importance in the process of managing the rural space and agricultural activity. This work aimed to identify and map the soil information of the lands of the State of Paraíba for the sugar cane cultivation, aiming to recognize the potential of the physical environment. In the methodology, the Agricultural Zoning of the State of Paraíba and the digital map of soils were used in a data base elaborated in the software SPRING 5.2.2, extracted the pedological information of the soils and elaborated the pedological potential. The results showed that with the use of geoprocessing techniques it was possible the spatialization of the areas and the definition of the favorable environments of potential of the culture contributing to the reduction of the risks of degradation of the environment; The State of Paraíba presents a greater pedological potential for the cultivation of sugarcane in 10.04% of its total area; The areas identified as Very Low Potential correspond to 54.52% of the total area distributed throughout the State; The Argisols present the smallest and the Neosols the greatest impediments to the development of the culture; It was not possible to map smaller areas due to the scale of work, with the possibility of cultivating the sugar cane cultivation in small areas not identified in this study.
