TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC VIABILITY OF COMMERCIAL PLANTATIONS IN AREAS ACCIDENTS IN SOUTH OF THE ESP\ucdRITO SANTO STATE, BRAZIL

Abstract

Esta pesquisa objetivou realizar uma an\ue1lise t\ue9cnica e econ\uf4mica da implanta\ue7\ue3o e manuten\ue7\ue3o de plantios de eucalipto em \ue1reas com topografia acidentada no sul do Esp\uedrito Santo. O trabalho foi executado em pequenas propriedades rurais. Foram analisados o rendimento, a produtividade e os custos envolvidos nas atividades. De acordo com os resultados, a opera\ue7\ue3o de capina qu\uedmica manual obteve o maior rendimento (0,191 hectare/hora) e a atividade de replantio obteve o menor (0,008 hectare/hora). Quanto aos custos operacionais, as opera\ue7\uf5es realizadas durante o preparo do solo para o plantio tiveram o maior custo (32%), seguido das atividades de manuten\ue7\ue3o (27%), atividades pr\ue9vias de preparo da \ue1rea (22%) e plantio (19%).This research aimed to carry out a technical and economic analysis of the deployment and maintenance of eucalyptus crops on areas with steep topography, in small farms in south 'Esp\uedrito Santo' state, Brazil. The yield, the productivity of operations and the costs involved in activities were analyzed. According to the results, the operation of chemical weed control manual had the highest yield (0.191 ha hour-1) and the activity of replanting had the lowest (0.008 ha hour-1). Concerned to the operation costs, the operations during the soil preparation for planting had the highest cost (32%), followed by maintenance activities (27%), previous activities of preparation of the area (22%) and plantation (19%)
