**Step 1: Input NDVI and DMP databases using algorithm adapted from GEONETCast Toolbox**

To implement a methodology for the ingestion of both the NDVI and DMP databases (raster) into ILWIS, specific routines of GEONETCast–toobox are adapted to import the datsets. For the ingestion procedure, based on a GIS approach using open source components, it requires additional work on corrections using overlays (Status map and LOG–file) to mask all appro‐ priate areas of sugarcane crops over the Coruripe municipality.
