ATTO Sementes has a long tradition of producing quality seeds and this performance can also be seen in the production of straw with ADR 300 millet. The product brings a series of benefits to the crop, such as the reduction of nematodes and the recycling of nutrients. A study carried out by the University of Rio Verde (Goiás) calculated the volume of nutrients returned to the soil at 11 tons per hectare left by dry matter from ADR 300. Calculating the volumes of potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen in chemical fertilizers, and urea at current prices , the values deliver about R$ 4.8 thousand per hectare of savings, increasing the producer's profitability per hectare.
