Sugarcane has become an essential production crop for energy and biofuels. Productive performance, combined with sustainability, was mainly provided by the latest development in mechanization. Over the years, sugarcane harvesting mechanization has been highlighted in scientific research to solve complex factors aiming at technology input in this management stage. The bibliometric analysis verifies more relevant research, citations number, relevant journals, and scientific production trends. This study aims to characterize mechanized sugarcane harvesting evolution and verify future scientific research trends. We adopted RStudio processing and bibliometric maps with VosViewer software to Scopus and Web of Science databases, which identified 325 articles relating to mechanized harvesting of sugarcane. Based on citation number, Brazil, China, USA, and Australia are the leading countries with maximum development and research products related to mechanized sugarcane harvesting. Harvesters, mechanized harvesting optimization, computer simulation, and precision agriculture were the main subjects addressed in experimental research. The investigations exploring precision agriculture and technologies are being applied in mechanized sugarcane harvesting to future research. Therefore, this review provided valuable information for the farmers and researchers on future research trends to optimize mechanized harvesting of sugarcane. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
