Abstract


The objective of the work is to characterize aspects of the physiology related to the development in the different stages of the vegetative growth of the sugarcane. Sugarcane is a crop of great economic importance in the world. It is grown as feedstock for the production of sugar and ethanol, and Brazil is the biggest producer, accounting for 33% of world production, highlighting the state of Sao Paulo, that leads with 60% of national production. Several factors can interfere on productivity and technological quality of sugarcane, which ultimately represents the integration of different conditions to which the culture was subjected. In this sense, some of the aspects of greatest importance to have good final yield or good stand of seedlings is related to the practice of planting, get into consideration factors essential to the great growth. This work will discuss some of aspects of the physiology development of the sugarcane under the vegetative stage.
