Custo de implantação de cana de açucar na fazenda são geraldo, em Atalaia – AL

Abstract

The costs of implanting sugarcane vary each year and this variation depends on the region in which it is produced. In this context, the objective of this work was to determine the cost of implanting 1 ha of sugar cane at Fazenda São Geraldo in the municipality of Atalaia/AL. The research was carried out with an area of sugar cane located at Fazenda São Geraldo, with an area of 35 ha. For fertilization, fertilizer formulated 17-03-20 was used, corresponding to about 500 kg per hectare, which is divided into the foundation (when it is planted) and coverage (along the cycle). The cultivation of the area makes use of two established varieties in the market, namely: RB 92579 and RB 0442. It is concluded that the cost for the implantation of sugar cane in Atalaia/AL has changed over the years. The items that had the highest cost were agricultural inputs, with fertilizers being the most expensive and cultural treatments the ones that suffered the least costs over the years. As a result, the total cost of implementing 1.0 ha of sugarcane, referring to the 2022/2023 harvest, was R$ 5,384.90.
