of the total cost of growing sugarcane in Brazil in the 2021/2022 planting season.
According to Joo Rosa, consultant at Pecege Productivity Management Consulting and Project, Brazilian producers must be very cautious in order to assess profits
at the end of the harvest season.

Among many factors, herbicide management recommendations influence this change
.
The cost is due to a lack of understanding of the weed problem and the purposeless use of herbicides, which is why regulation is critical
to prevent yield declines.

The above information comes from the Sinergia Taranis 2022 conference, which focused on the sugar energy industry, and key participants took the opportunity to discuss useful information on competitive management of weeds in Brazil and how technology can help
.
The conference was attended by managers from more than 20 countries, with a total arable area of more than 3.
6 million hectares, representing almost 40% of
the country's sugar energy industry.

"If not managed properly, weeds can cause millions of economic losses and irreversible damage to yields", says Professor Pedro Christofoletti, consultant and independent researcher at PJC Consultoria Agronómica, who specialises in biology and weed management
.
"The test found that the yield loss can be up to 87.
5%, affecting almost the entire production
.
If not managed correctly, the average loss can still be high, between
45% and 50% of production.

Management is a major bottleneck in the weed problem, and some producers still believe that weed competition control is only possible by adding herbicides, but often using "standard recipes" based on assumptions and data with low
precision.
Experts stress that increasing input into pesticides is not always the solution

"Monitoring is essential to determine the extent of crop damage and what weed species are present in the affected area, so that it can guide proper management, optimize recommendations and apply pesticide inputs more effectively based on the actual cultivation of sugar cane," Christofoletti
emphasized.

High-precision monitoring using drones and aircraft, which captures highly detailed crop images and generates true and accurate information, is the most effective tool
for improving herbicide recommendations.
"Professionals need to understand regulatory technology, which points out people's mistakes and how to improve," says
Michel Fernandes, an advisor at MS Fernandes Consultoria Agrícola.

The campaign was initiated by Taranis, a high-precision monitoring platform using artificial intelligence dedicated to providing complete digital monitoring services at the blade level through the use of drones and aircraft, helping growers and agricultural consultants make more decisive decisions, simplify management and improve results
