Rainfall Zoning for Cocoa Growing in Bahia State (Brazil) Using Fuzzy Logic

“…Overall, the southern mesoregion of Bahia state has greater rainfall uniformity throughout the year except in May, September, and October (Figure 3), as these months had pertinence close to zero, indicating unfavorable rainfall conditions for cocoa growing, which has an ideal average water demand between 96 and 208 mm -1 , according to Santos et al (2018).…”

“…The class limits of the fuzzy set (Table 1) were defined according to optimal (ideal) intervals for cocoa development and production, as established by Santos et al (2018). Thus, thematic maps for fuzzy classification were generated by the SURFER® software (Golden Software, Inc.).…”

“…Theobroma cacao L. is a species adapted to regions with mean monthly temperatures ranging from 18 to 32ºC and high rainfall (1150-2500 mm year -1 ) well distributed throughout the year (Santos et al, 2018). Expansion of areas cultivated with this crop has been limited by the climatic conditions of each region.…”
