Abstract

Sugarcane is a highly nutrient extractor crop, regarding nitrogen it is generally accepted that sugarcane plants extract between 120 to 270 kg · ha-1 and the first rattoon between 100 to 170 kg · ha-1.1 These values suppose that without nitrogen fertilization continuous sugarcane harvests may deplete nitrogen reserves in soil no matter how fertile it could be, however that doesn´t occur,2 therefore biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), a natural occurring event, could be responsible for this fact.
