“…The Brazilian sugarcane industry is in constant development, testing and releasing new cultivars and management practices to increase the yield. It is consensus that environment and genotypes control the sugarcane yield level (Leal et al, 2013; and interacts with farming practices (Soares and Marin, 2021), interrow spacing (Gasparotto et al, 2020) and crop water responses . Process-based crop models (PBCM) are able to assess cultivars performances in terms of yield (Inman-Bamber et al, 2012;, the effect of green cane trash blanket (GCTB), interrow spacing and soil processes on crop growth , and irrigation strategies across distinct environments.…”
