The article highlights the benefits of growing graniferous millet hybrids, as demonstrated by research by ATTO Sementes, particularly in the second harvest season. These hybrids, including ADRG 9060 and ADRG 9070, are shown to increase profitability for farmers due to their high grain yield and the positive impact on subsequent soybean crops. The deep root system of millet aids in nutrient recycling, leading to increased soybean productivity. Additionally, millet cultivation helps reduce the population of nematodes, which can harm oilseed productivity. Millet grains, with a protein content of 14%, are a cost-effective feed option for poultry, swine, and livestock, providing further financial benefits for farmers.

The graniferous hybrids of millet increase the profitability of the rural producer and provide the reduction of nematodes, as pointed out in the field work in commercial crops carried out by the Research Department ATTO Sementes. The return to the farmer is due to the high grain productivity achieved by the hybrids as well as the indirect return on soybeans. “Usually the farmer ends up planting corn in the 2nd harvest, but for plantings after February 25th, our millet hybrids have a perfect fit. This is because the cultivars are efficient in taking advantage of the available water, and the producer minimizes the risks inherent to that time, managing to obtain income at a time that he would not have, besides leaving many benefits for the subsequent crop ”, says the commercial director of ATTO Sementes , Juca Matielo. This gain can be seen in relation to soybean productivity. According to Matielo, the increase is due to the fact that millet has a deep and abundant root system. ...
