Irrigation contributes to the increase of industrial and commercial activities, directly impacting on economic progress, generating direct and indirect responsible for the circulation of wealth from the countries jobs. In any irrigation project, it becomes important to understand the concept of technology that is linked not only to factors such as machinery and equipment to optimize production, plus also the fact that these elements or factors need to be operated within the productive activity. This work had as main objective to analyze the influence of technology on the payment capacity of the producers of the Irrigation Plateaus of Guadalupe, in the state of Piauí. Specifically, we sought to identify the representative technological factors and group producers based on the calculation of a technological index; calculate the revenue and production costs of the perimeter producer groups; ability to calculate the total and per unit of crop produced raw water payment, considering the groups of producers; and identify the effect of the technological level on the ability to pay the irrigator producer. The primary data were collected by the technical nature of field research, qualitative and quantitative types of descriptive and refer to the year 2012, collected in 2013 three methods were used: factor analysis to extract the main factors in the formation of representative index aggregate of technological producers and cluster analysis to identify producers who had lower or higher levels of adoption of agricultural technology in irrigation. Jointly-used the residual method to determine the ability to pay full, unitary and culture of producers using raw water for irrigation. The results pointed to the definition of four representative factors in the level of technology. For the index, it was observed that the clustering resulted in three classes, according to the low, medium and high order. Costs and revenues for producer group were raised, considering the technological index and then was calculated ability to pay and the total unit per group of irrigators on the perimeter Plateaus of Guadalupe-PI, concluding as satisfactory for the three groups . In the culture analysis, it was determined that the guava CPT was the most significant, followed production consortium of banana, passion fruit. In order to obtain conclusive results and achieve the objectives of the work, did the aggregated analysis, ie, calculating the Technological Producers Index (ITI), there was that irrigating farmers with low ITI showed low CPT, producers with an average ITI revealed average CPT and irrigators with high ITI expressed high CPT. Therefore, it is concluded that the three groups indicated satisfactory CPT, may state that prevails among irrigators analyzed agriculture medium technological level.
