Riego localizado: Innovaciones en agroecosistemas de caña de azúcar (Saccharum officinarium) en el Ecuador

Localized irrigation in the Ecuadorian sugarcane agroecosystem has experienced notable advances due to the need to improve efficiency in water use and reduce the environmental impact of the production of this crop. Sugarcane is a crop that demands a large amount of water, and localized irrigation has been highlighted as a solution to optimize the use of this resource. Innovations in localized irrigation systems, such as drip and microspray, have allowed water to be precisely distributed in the soil, minimizing losses due to evaporation and runoff. These technological advancements not only improve water efficiency but also contribute to increasing crop productivity by providing the right amount of water at the right time. The introduction of local irrigation systems adapted to Ecuadorian conditions has helped address climate challenges and pressures on water resources, leading to benefits for the economic and environmental sustainability of sugarcane production. As a result, greater productivity is observed per unit of water used, which benefits both producers and the environment, promoting a more sustainable approach in Ecuadorian sugarcane agriculture. This technological development in localized irrigation reflects a continuous commitment to innovation in the agricultural sector, seeking to optimize available resources and reduce negative impacts on the environment. With these improvements, the resilience of the agricultural system in the face of climate challenges is strengthened and more efficient and responsible management of natural resources in sugarcane production is promoted.
