Tridge summary

The article provides an overview of the agricultural situation in a specific state, focusing on the impact of drought and rainfall on key crops such as soy, corn, rice, and beans. The soy cultivation area is 6,513,891 hectares with a productivity of 2,175 kg/ha due to drought, but recent rains have aided in moisture recovery. Soy harvest varies widely across the state, with some areas experiencing low yields that do not cover harvesting costs and others nearing 4,000 kg/ha. Soy beans have maintained commercial standard despite drought-related issues. Corn cultivation faces a 39.49% reduction in productivity, and corn silage by 39.18%. Rice productivity is variable, dependent on irrigation. The first bean harvest has a productivity decrease of 7.36%, and the second harvest, covering 20,127 hectares, has seen favorable climatic factors but producers are now cautious about diseases due to decreasing temperatures.

The soy cultivated area in the State is 6,513,891 hectares. Current productivity is estimated at 2,175 kg/ha, meaning a 30% reduction in the initial productive potential of the crop due to the drought. According to the Conjunctural Newsletter produced and released this Thursday (06/04) by Emater/RS-Ascar, in the period, the rains that occurred between March 29 and 31, better distributed and in more significant volumes, contributed to the recovery /maintenance of moisture, especially in later sowing crops, which have not yet defined their productive potential. Precipitation also contributed to the uniformity of maturation, but did not harm the harvest, which evolved rapidly from 8% to 18% of the cultivated area in the State. However, even with this progress, the delay in relation to past harvests persists. The results obtained continue to vary widely between the different regions of the State: in damaged crops in Fronteira Oeste, productivity is 180 kg/ha, which does not cover ...
