Interpretation of sugarcane field records can bc greatly improved by linking them to a Geographic Information System database, which allows trends to be mapped and queries to be performed. Linking a Geographic Information System to a crop or irrigation model allows simulation of crop yield and irrigation water use efficiency for each field, based on ficld informatton. The Arcview Geographic Inf...
