Zonificación agroecológica para el cultivo de caña de azúcar (Saccharum spp.) en Costa Rica

This paper establishes agro-ecological zones for sugar cane crop in Costa Rica. Definitions of zoning units are based on the combination of three indexes: potential yield, climatic conditions needed for saccharose accumulation, and soil class. Potential yield tsus calculated by means of a production...
