Efecto de la quema de la caña de azúcar sobre la productividad y calidad del suelo en la zona de Milagro

In Ecuador there are 110,000 ha, of these 74 100 ha are destined for the production of Sugar and the rest for the production of Panela. The most important sugar mills in the country are: Valdez, San Carlos, Ecudos, Monterrey, Iancem and Isabel María. The sugar yield per ton of Cane is 193.23 pounds. Studies aimed at knowing the effect of burning on soils, microorganisms and other production factors are still incipient on a world scale. There are specific experiences fundamentally linked to the knowledge of the processes that affect indicators and, to show the progress of the basic dimensions of sustainable development. This practical work presents the following objectives: Identify the environmental impact of gases emitted during the burning of sugarcane in the study area and establish the quality of the cane concentrate based on chemical parameters, differentiating the harvesting process. In this documentary research, the methodology of bibliographic review and in situ survey was used. The use of fire in the sugarcane harvest affects the density of the soil, to a greater extent, before and after the harvest and the retention of natural soil moisture. Preserving the biomass without burning contributes to increasing the life of the soil micro and macrofauna, although mycorrhizal fungi do not seem to be affected by the use of burning; however, when fire is not used, greater diversity of specimens in the agroecosystem is guaranteed
