ResumoThe understanding about biophysical processes taking place between the crop and the atmosphere is essential to define the appropriate management practices in order to increase crop yield.The aim of the present study is to analyze water vapour and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) fluxes in sugarcane crop between the development and the mid-season as an environmental variables function, as well as to assess the correction effects on fluxes.Latent heat flux (E) and net ecosystem CO 2 exchange (NEE) micrometeorological measurements were performed through the eddy covariance technique (EC), between June7th and November 17th, 2013 in a sugarcane crop grown in Northeastern Brazil.Days were characterized according to cloudiness conditions through the clearness index (Kt).The E and NEE, set through the EC technique, needed correction due to heat and water vapour transfer, because CO 2 and E raw fluxes tend to overestimate and underestimate the values, respectively.Both E and NEE followed the daily photosynthetic solar irradiance course, but maximum values were not recorded at the same time.Apparent quantum yield and water use efficiency were higher under partly cloudy skies; both variables can be applied to simulation models in order to improve management practices and increase yield.
