Resumo
Among the plants recommended for the production of biodiesel there is the Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.), however there is a lack of studies for this crop in particular regarding its management. Climate variables can sometimes restrain the growth and development of certain kinds of plant specious, especially by extremes ranges of temperature and rainfall. This study`s purpose was to define areas suitable in Goiás state for the cultivation of Jatropha by conducting a study based on an agroclimatic zoning using a Geographic Information System. Some other products were also created, as the climate characterization of the state, by generating temperature, precipitation and evapotranspiration maps, as well as defining the water balance of the state. The zoning does not show evidences of any area that is considered unsuitable for cultivation of Jatropha in the state, which much of the state appears to be fully suitable, with some marginal regions, either by water deficiency, or by thermal deficiency. A total of 64,6% of Goiás is suitable for cultivation of Jatropha, while 35,4% have a condition of marginality for the development of the plant. Among all the areas defined as marginal for the cultivation of Jatropha, 28,8% is considered to be marginal by water deficiency, and 6,6% is considered to be marginal by thermal deficiency.
