Tridge summary

The soybean harvest in Rio Grande do Sul has progressed to 1% of the cultivated area in the 2022/23 season, which is behind the 10% recorded a year earlier and the historical average of 14%, due to recent droughts. The unstable and adverse weather conditions have led to productivity losses and variability in grain potential. Herbicides are being used to control weeds, and 68% of the corn areas have been harvested. However, some off-season crops have shown symptoms of humidity restriction due to drier periods.

The beginning of the harvest made it possible to observe with greater accuracy the level of productivity losses caused by the drought in oilseed crops, said the technical assistance and rural extension company linked to the state government. In addition, weather conditions remain adverse and unstable. "The irregularity and poor distribution of rains were repeated again in the period between 06 and 12/03, reinforcing the great variability of the productive potential within a region and between the producing regions of the State", he said in a report. Soybean crops are predominantly in the grain filling phase, with 54% of the areas. Emater also pointed out that herbicides are being applied to control ...
