Agricultural researchers in Brazil's Parana state report that farmers have planted 56% of their anticipated safrinha corn, with 27% of that already germinated and in the vegetative development stage. The current condition of the corn is good, with satisfactory germination and plant populations. Parana is a key contributor to Brazil's safrinha corn production, accounting for about 16%, while Mato Grosso leads with 48%. The first corn crop in the state is also progressing, with 30% harvested and the majority in good condition, despite variable yields.
