The soybean crop is an alternative for crop diversification and recovery of degraded pasture areas. Producers in the Central region of Minas Gerais are learning about the benefits of growing this crop and learning how to insert soybeans into Integrated Crop-Livestock-Forest (ILPF) systems. The technical team at Embrapa Maize and Sorghum considers that the reconversion of degraded pasture areas into environments with a higher productive level is the way Brazil should follow in the coming decades. This must be due to the need to reconcile increased agricultural production and sustainable use of resources, without further interference in natural ecosystems, in order to meet compliance targets for increasingly demanding consumer markets. In this scenario, the main strategies involve intensification and diversification of the productive system in the rural property. In order to address the main points to be observed in the cultivation of soy in the Cerrado of the Center-North of Minas ...
