Abstract (AB)	GISCANE is a geographical information system set up at the MSIRI for the management of sugar cane lands. The compilation of data including physical and agronomic data has been undertaken over several years on a parcel to parcel basis for the sugar industry. Recently, the necessary hardwares and softwares have been acquired to allow spatial analysis of the data compiled for improving better land use planning and management. There is a need for rapid availability of immediately usable quality maps and divital data to increase efficiency. Digital terrain modelling is proving useful for better land planning such as the siting of a Centre Pivot irrigation system.
