This work presents a mathematical model for helping mills choose sugarcane varieties for planting. It maximizes crop … planting area. For this full zero-one linear programming techniques were proposed. The model is viable for choosing sugarcane … varieties that would benefit sugarcane production and industrial systems, by reducing crop residue and increasing final energy …
