UTILIZAÇÃO DE FÓSFORO NA CULTURA DA CANA-DE-AÇÚCAR

Abstract

This work presents a literature review on the use of phosphorus in the cultivation of sugar cane (Saccharum spp.). With qualitative methodological referrals, bibliographic research was used as a method for data collection. Articles published in journals and books in the field of agronomy were used as a reference, aiming to identify how the use of phosphorus can influence the increase in the productive efficiency of sugarcane. Brazil is one of the major world producers of sugarcane and for this reason, this area has been researched in order to identify methods and techniques that can contribute to its productive efficiency. One of the methods studied is the diagnosis and correction of phosphorus in the soil in which the cane is planted, considering that this chemical element can positively influence the productive development. Thus, considering the objective of the research, after collecting and analyzing the data, it was possible to identify as a result that phosphorus can positively influence the cultivation of sugar cane, since this element acts in the storage and transfer of energy, composing nucleic acids. Thus, it is relevant that studies in this area are carried out, in order to understand how the relationship between phosphorus and sugar cane production occurs.
