Over the last few crops, favored by prolonged periods of dry weather, these small insects, in the case of thrips and arachnids, have needed extra attention from the producer. Despite their small size, they show high potential for damage when not handled properly and especially at the right time.
Caterpillars are insects of the order Lepidoptera. Its most representative family is the noctuidaes, with approximately: 8,539 identified species. Most caterpillar species share moths of all sizes (30 cm to 15 mm), which survive in a wide variety of environments.
Understand what the Income Tax is and how the tax declaration works for the rural producer, in addition to important points related to the topic.
Establishment is the most critical phase of soybeans in lowland environments. The period between sowing and emergence is when there is less control over the number of plants that will establish themselves, the possibility of plant death and the final stand.
Rio Grande do Sul is considered the largest irrigated rice producer in Brazil, together with Santa Catarina, they are responsible for more than 80% of the national production. As it is the most consumed cereal in the world, this position is extremely important to guarantee food safety. However, the presence of weeds can drastically compromise productivity, leading to the economic unfeasibility of the business.
The conventional grain harvester can be functionally divided into five main units: cutting and feeding, threshing, separating, cleaning, transporting and storing grain. On the other hand, the so-called modern harvesters, with axial path flow, combine the path and the separation in the same process, keeping the others.
Weeds are the most important biotic factor that negatively affects agricultural production, being responsible for high losses in crop yield and quality. It is estimated that one horseweed plant (Conyza sp.) per m2 can cause losses of 2 to 7 bags of soybean ha-1. In addition to horseweed, we have a large number of other highly competitive weed species that have evolved and adapted to crops under no-tillage system.
Inoculation is the practice of adding a product that contains a certain biological microorganism, reflecting beneficial functions for the growth and development of plants.
The sowing period for the soybean crop is approaching and for this we have brought some information about what pre-sowing soybean desiccation is, including the best practices used to control weeds.
NOAA, the North American Agency for Meteorology and Oceanography, indicates that the chance of the formation of a new La Niña phenomenon is increasing. Currently, there is an 80% probability that we will have the cooling of the Pacific Ocean between late spring 2021 and early summer 2022.
If the subject is agility and economy, we cannot fail to talk about the Digital Certificate, a very important tool to help rural producers, which brings security and practicality.
Time has always been and will always be our scarcest resource. In agriculture it is no different. Making processes increasingly agile and practical is an activity to be thought about every day. To 3tentos partners, we offer a unique, agile and practical way of commercializing grains: online sales via the 3tentos app.
The corn leafhopper (Dalbulus maidis) has been causing great damage to corn producers in Rio Grande do Sul, no longer being a problem only in other regions.
The sowing time is approaching, farmers are getting ready to start implementing a series of important practices that must be observed for the success of their crops.
The seed laboratory is the quality assurance center. The seed represents an indispensable input in the production system, being the protagonist of technological innovations, with this quality being the basis for obtaining good yields, whether due to physical, physiological or sanitary factors.
The initial management of the crop is essential for high yields, it must be thought of as a system that encompasses well-defined planning and actions.
Today, it is known that good management integrates several aspects, in particular the inclusion of biological products, which, in addition to efficiency, add to sustainability and agricultural revitalization.
The proper use of nutrients ensures an increase in crop productivity, as any imbalance in the amount or availability of macro or micronutrients negatively impacts crop productivity.
To seek the best results of a crop we need to know the steps and processes involved, when we do not achieve the expected result it is necessary to investigate the causes. For this, we evaluate possible climatic variations, we analyze the position of the cultivar, management of fertilizers and / or crop protectors, as well as we need to be attentive to the execution of the processes. But to avoid potential problems with wheat, what should we do?
After the fall in the second quarter of 2020, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, commodity prices started to recover, reaching expressive values on world exchanges, supported by the strengthening of demand. In the global scenario of soy, for example, what is observed is a production lower than consumption.
La Niña is over, but atmosphere has not yet come.
In May, the American Meteorological and Oceanographic Agency (NOAA) said that La Niña, a phenomenon that brought a lot of drought to central and southern Brazil in 2020, had ended. We are now under climate neutrality, without La Niña and also without a La Niña phenomenon. The point is that due to the changes for winter, it seems that the Brazilian atmosphere doesn't know about it yet.
We arrived in the middle of 2021 and a lot has happened in our agro market. Let's take a brief look back, looking mainly at the soybean and corn market?
In order to obtain a good wheat production, in general, an adequate plant population is necessary, considering the cultivar and environmental conditions, location, sowing time and level of investment in fertilization, nutrition and phytosanitary maintenance.
Natural phenomena are unpredictable. Some adverse weather conditions, such as hail, frost, heavy rains and droughts can cause great damage. For this reason, agricultural insurance works as a financial security device for rural properties.
The new corn crop has already started, among the main decision decisions are the choice of hybrids, fertility management, weeds and pests.Another decisive aspect for reaping good results is the plantability of the crop, which includes aspects such as sowing speed and depth, soil moisture and the correct choice of discs and rings for planting.
To obtain high yields on agricultural crops, numerous strategies can be adopted at different times of the year. When we talk about soil correction and maintenance, mainly for calcium, sulfur and boron, the off-season is one of the most appropriate periods to adopt technical strategies with systemic impact.
Agriculture is one of the main economic activities in the field, being considered one of the branches that most promotes the economy of Brazil and the world. In order for this activity to develop to its full potential, a series of factors is necessary that, together, make this gear run. One of them is credit, especially Rural Credit.
A new crop of wheat is approaching and along with it, doubts arise in the field of how to manage weeds effectively. And when we come to this subject, the first wheat invader to be remembered without a doubt is ryegrass. But why is ryegrass year after year of concern among farmers? Check out our text and stay on top of the subject.
"Completely redesigned, Agritour 3Tentos toured the US producing region, visiting states in the South and Midwest. Soybean, corn, rice, cotton, and beef cattle crops were the theme at the 11th edition of Agritour, which had 29 gaucho producers! "
3Tentos once more take actions to be closer to its partners. In a totally renewed, morden and functional interface, we can share our solutions and generate intelligent content through our new website. Welcome!
