%X a generalized agricultural practice in tucum¨¢n, argentina, is pre-harvest sugarcane burning or burning of its post harvest residues. the comisi¨®n nacional de actividades espaciales (conae) offers a tool for fire ocurrence teledetection using thermal anomalies maps, generated by nasa terra and aqua modis satellite systems. this information was used for fire registration on sugarcane cultivation area, generating a database and statistics of sugarcane burning during the harvesting period from 2004 to 2006 in tucum¨¢n. moreover, an attempt to validate the potential use of this tool as a fire monitoring system in agriculture and natural resources areas was carried out. september was the month with major number of fire occurrences in all considered cases and cruz alta was the location with most fire records. the use of pre or post harvest burning evidenced a tendency to increase.
