DEFENSOR, William Sales. Productivity and quality of sugarcane as a function of biostimulant, micronutrients and hydroretentor. 29 f. Final Paper (Graduation in Agronomy) – Federal University of Uberlândia, Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil, 2022.

In Brazil, the constant increases in sugarcane production and productivity are linked to the adequacy of mechanization processes in the planting and harvesting of the crop, as well as in the search for techniques and technologies that make sugarcane plantations more efficient. In this sense, it is essential to know the effects of products such as biostimulants, hydrogel and micronutrients in the cultivation of sugarcane. Therefore, the objective was to determine the relevance of the use of biostimulants, hydrogel and micronutrients in pre-sprouted seedlings of sugarcane, variety RB 855453. The research activity was carried out in the field, at the Glória Campus, of the Federal University of Uberlândia, in Uberlândia-MG. The implementation took place on March 24, 2018, using a randomized block design, consisting of 5 treatments: T1- Control; T2 - Biostimulant (B); T3- Hydroredeemer (H); T4- Micronutrients (M); T5- Complete (B + H + M) applied in the planting furrow, and four replications. The variables analyzed were: stem numbers, productivity, brix degrees of pre-sprouted sugarcane seedlings. The results obtained were submitted to analysis of variance and then the comparison of means was performed by Tukey's test at the level of 5% significance. The use of Stimulate®, Booster® or UPDT® alone or in association has no influence on the productivity and properties of sugarcane seedlings.
