ABSTRACT Mechanized sugarcane harvesting can have negative implications, depending on soil moisture and climate conditions. Among the associated challenges is soil compaction, caused by heavy machinery traffic under inadequate moisture and speed conditions, which limits sugarcane yield and longevity. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate sugarcane yield and agroindustrial performance as a function of harvesting speed during dry and rainy seasons. A two-year experiment was conducted in the eastern region of Paraíba state, Brazil, during the dry and rainy seasons, using a randomized block design. Harvester speeds (2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 km h-1) were used in two harvesting seasons (dry season – Site 1; and rainy season – Site 2), with four replicates. The results indicated that harvesting in the dry season resulted in a greater number of culms per meter, culm diameter, internode length, and leaf area at the end of the ratoon cycle. Conversely, the rainy season favored culm height and internode number. Harvester speed of 5 km h-1 increased leaf area and culm diameter in ratoon cane. It was concluded that sugarcane harvested in the dry season exhibited better vegetative performance throughout the ratoon cycle. Furthermore, different harvesting speeds did not significantly affect the industrial quality of the cane, regardless of the harvest season.
