Abstract	As tecnologias de Agricultura de Precisao (AP) ja sao adotadas nas lavouras do Brasil, com tecnicas cada vez mais produtivas, indispensaveis para garantir a lideranca do Pais na producao agricola. No entanto, ainda nao existem estudos sobre a intensidade do uso das tecnologias de AP no Pais e dos condicionantes de sua adocao. O desafio central deste trabalho foi, entao, investigar o processo de adocao e uso das tecnologias de AP alcancado pela industria sucroalcooleira no estado de Sao Paulo. Para tanto, foram utilizados dados primarios, a partir de encaminhamento de questionario a todas as empresas do setor sucroalcooleiro paulista, com o objetivo de conhecer nao so o grau de adocao e uso das tecnologias de AP, mas tambem de verificar a influencia das variaveis estudadas na probabilidade de adocao dessas tecnologias. As conclusoes deste trabalho sugerem nao apenas que o percentual de adocao das tecnologias de AP e elevado na industria sucroalcooleira paulista, mas tambem que a probabilidade de adotar tais tecnologias e maior em ordem decrescente de importância, em usinas/destilarias de capital nacional, que fazem parte de um grupo empresarial, de orientacao exportadora, de gestao profissional, e que utilizam maior percentual de recursos proprios para investimentos na empresa......Technologies of Precision Agriculture (PA) are already a reality in crops throughout Brazil, using more and more productive techniques, crucial to ensure the country as the world leader in agriculture. However, studies on the intensity of the use of PA technologies in Brazil and the determiners of their adoption do not exist yet. The main focus of this study was, therefore, to investigate the adoption process and the use of PA technologies in the sugarcane industry in Sao Paulo state. For that purpose, it used primary data based upon a questionnaire submitted to all enterprises of the sugarcane sector in the state, aiming to figure out not only the adoption level and use of PA technologies in the sugarcane industry, but also to verify the influence of the variables studied on the probability for the adoption of the PA technologies. The conclusions of this study suggest that the percentage for the PA adoption is high in the sugarcane industry of Sao Paulo and also that the probability to adopt PA technologies is higher in decrescent order of importance in mills/distilleries of national capital, which are part of an export-driven group, of professional management and that use higher percentage of their own resources.
