Biometria da parte aérea da cana soca irrigada no Submédio do Vale do São Francisco). O tombamento da cana-de-açúcar afeta a dinâmica da estatura dos colmos, a qual atingiu valor final de 421 ± 22 cm. Porém, não demonstrou impactos diretos sobre os padrões de comprimento (13,6 ± 2,4 cm), diâmetro (2,5 ± 0,2 cm) e volume dos internódios (68,8 ± 19,5 , no Intervalo II. A área máxima da folha (423 ± 39 cm 2 ) depende da sua posição no colmo (n o 15) e responde, principalmente, ao comprimento foliar (máximo valor de 146 ± 6 cm), logo que a largura máxima (~4,2 ± 0,2 cm) tende a se estabilizar ao longo do ciclo. O índice de área foliar apresentou uma correlação positiva com o número de folhas verdes abertas e com a área das folhas.Palavras-chave: Biometria. Filocrono. RB92579. Tombamento.
ABSTRACT -The productivity of sugarcane in the Submedio of the Vale do São Francisco has been presenting superior performance due to the use of irrigation. In this way, information regarding the crop growth can be used for improving crop management. Thus, the objective of this work was to carry out a biometrics analysis of the irrigated sugarcane, seeking to supply the absence of information of this crop in the region. The experiment was conducted in the district of Juazeiro-BA using the variety RB92579 during the ratoon cycle. Two types of biometrics analysis were performed, one of them was destructive, where plants were sampled and conducted at the laboratory, and another one was no destructive, in which the variables are monitored in field. Based on the results, it was possible to verify that the crop presented high tillering (15.2 shoot m -2
