Data were analysed with the aid of a Geographic Information System supported by 8 bit microcomputer, and maps of North exposition, photosynthetically the most efficient, were produced for different gradients of slope. These maps combined with traditional maps can be a very helpful tool to planners. -from English summary79-100poragricultural planningGISmapping techniquephotosynthetic efficiencyslope orientationsugar caneIdentificacao e mapeamento de areas de maior eficiencia fotossintetica para a cana-de-acucarIdentification and mapping of areas of better photosynthetic efficiency for sugar caneArtigoAcesso restrito2-s2.0-0024920279
