Precision agriculture (PA), sometimes called “prescription farming” or “variable rate technology,” is the main topic in this chapter, focusing on sugarcane. PA comprises a set of techniques that can be used in several areas of agricultural science. It can be defined as a new management technology based on georeferenced information for the control of agricultural systems and it is based on the detailing of georeferenced information through the application of monitoring processes and integration of characteristics of soil, plant and climate. PA represents around 10% of the total area cultivated with sugarcane in Brazil, and the simplest way to adopt PA in sugarcane crops is to apply inputs at variable rates based on soil characteristics. In this chapter all details to rationally use PA for a better and sustainable sugarcane production it are described.
