"Production and management of sugarcane biomass: process optimization", in Biomass Production and Uses, Eduardo Jacob-Lopes and Leila Queiroz Zepka (eds.), Capítulo 2 open access publication, InTech, pp. 11-28, 2015.978-953-51-2181-7http://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/96385These studies have the purposes of providing a management procedure at a lower economic cost and improving the quality and quantity of the cane produced. These objectives can be attained through optimized cane cultivation planning because the planning brings about several benefits, principally enhanced quality, and yield, and thus an increase in the bio-energy to be generated. However, crop planning is a complex process that requires considerable care by sector managers as it involves social, economic, political, and environmental factors. These convert the decision-making processes into issues of a multiobjective nature with significant consequences. In this case, the need arises for mathematical and computational techniques, which may assist managers in setting up the planning process for cultivation and handling of the cane.engAgricultureBiomass and Bioenergy SystemsPower ProductionNumeral OptimizationSugarcaneEnvironmental and Economic RequirementsEcosystemsGame TheoryMathematical Modelbook partdx.doi.org/10.5772/61533.
