Abstract (English): Mechanized sugarcane harvesting can have negative implications, depending on soil moisture and climate conditions. Among the associated challenges is soil compaction, caused by heavy machinery traffic under inadequate moisture and speed conditions, which limits sugarcane yield and longevity. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate sugarcane yield and agroindustrial performance as a function of harvesting speed during dry and rainy seasons. A two-year experiment was conducted in the eastern region of Paraíba state, Brazil, during the dry and rainy seasons, using a randomized block design. Harvester speeds (2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 km h-1) were used in two harvesting seasons (dry season - Site 1; and rainy season - Site 2), with four replicates. The results indicated that harvesting in the dry season resulted in a greater number of culms per meter, culm diameter, internode length, and leaf area at the end of the ratoon cycle. Conversely, the rainy season favored culm height and internode number. Harvester speed of 5 km h-1 increased leaf area and culm diameter in ratoon cane. It was concluded that sugarcane harvested in the dry season exhibited better vegetative performance throughout the ratoon cycle. Furthermore, different harvesting speeds did not significantly affect the industrial quality of the cane, regardless of the harvest season. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Portuguese): A colheita mecanizada de cana-de-açúcar pode ter implicações negativas, dependendo da umidade do solo e das condições climáticas. Entre os desafios associados está a compactação do solo, causada pelo tráfego de máquinas pesadas em condições inadequadas de umidade e velocidade, o que limita a produtividade e a longevidade da cana-de-açúcar. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a produtividade da cana-de-açúcar e o desempenho agroindustrial em função da velocidade de colheita durante as estações seca e chuvosa. Um experimento de dois anos foi conduzido na região leste da Paraíba, Brasil, durante as estações seca e chuvosa, usando um delineamento em blocos casualizados. As velocidades da colhedora (2, 3, 4, 5 e 6 km h-1) foram utilizadas em duas estações de colheita (estação seca - Local 1; e estação chuvosa - Local 2), com quatro repetições. Os resultados indicaram que a colheita na estação seca resultou em maior número de colmos por metro, diâmetro do colmo, comprimento do entrenó e área foliar no final do ciclo. Por outro lado, a estação chuvosa favoreceu a altura do colmo e o número de entrenós. A velocidade da colhedora de 5 km h-1 aumentou a área foliar e o diâmetro do colmo na cana-soca. Concluiu-se que a cana-de-açúcar colhida na estação seca apresentou melhor desempenho vegetativo ao longo do ciclo. Além disso, diferentes velocidades de colheita não afetaram significativamente a qualidade industrial da cana, independentemente da época de colheita. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
